唯識二十論述記 2.220

2.220

述曰：自下大段第三有半頌釋小乘、外道。難以夢例覺時，應知境無失。先敘彼難；後方釋破。於敘難中，初牒論主所明唯識；後正申難。此即初也，論主前來所說理趣，如世夢中，無境既識起，其覺時識，無境得生者，即牒夢、覺二識義同。

Commentary: Below is the third major section consisting of half a verse resolving the Hīnayāna and non-Buddhist objection: drawing an analogy from dreaming to the waking state, one should know that objects are non-existent, which is a fallacy. First it relates their objection; only then does it explain and refute it. In relating the objection, it first cites what the author of the treatise clarified regarding consciousness-only; then it directly presents the objection. This is the first part: the line of reasoning previously stated by the author of the treatise, that just as in a worldly dream consciousness arises even though there is no object, so the waking consciousness can arise without an object—this cites the equivalence in meaning between dream and waking consciousnesses.
