唯識二十論述記 1.46

1.46

述曰：自下第三，釋外伏難，簡擇「唯」言。於中有二：初釋伏難解「識」字；後釋「唯」言。此即初也，難如前說，此即是答。謂：諸經論所說心、意、識、及了別，此之四名其體無異，但名差別。「心」積集義；「意」思量義；「識」了別義；了識達義應言「了別」。此中言略，但說「了」言。舊論言「等」，等此了故。

The Commentary states: Below is the third [section], resolving implicit objections from outsiders and clarifying the word "only" (mātra). Within this there are two parts: first, resolving the implicit objection by explaining the word "consciousness" (vijñāna); second, explaining the word "only". This is the first part. The objection is as stated before, and this is the reply. That is to say: the four terms—citta, manas, vijñāna, and vijñapti (discernment)—spoken of in the sūtras and śāstras are not different in essence; they differ only in name. "Citta" has the meaning of accumulation; "manas" has the meaning of cogitation; "vijñāna" has the meaning of discernment. In the sense of discerning and apprehending, it should properly be called "discernment" (vijñapti). Here the phrasing is abbreviated, mentioning only "discernment" (vijñapti). The older translation used the word "etc.", because it included this discernment.
