唯識二十論述記 2.32

2.32

述曰：此下別破。汝言極微一一各別為五識境，此定不然。極微各別，眼等五識不可取故。然汝自宗，異生等眼不見極微，五識之上不現其相，如何說極微各別為境。應立量言：各別極微非五識所緣；眼等五識不可取故；如眼根等。故此論中極微各別但是有法，不可取故，但是其因，略無同喻及所立宗；或應量云：聚色多極微非五識所緣；極微各別五識不取故；如眼根等。

Commentary: Below is the specific refutation. You say that atoms, each individually, are the objects of the five consciousnesses; this is definitely not so. Because atoms individually cannot be apprehended by the five consciousnesses such as the eye. Moreover, in your own school, the eyes of ordinary beings and the like do not see atoms, and their aspect does not appear on the five consciousnesses; how can you say that atoms individually are the object? An inference should be established thus: 'Individual atoms are not the object of the five consciousnesses (pratijñā); because they cannot be apprehended by the five consciousnesses such as the eye (hetu); like the eye faculty and so forth (dṛṣṭānta).' Therefore, in this treatise, 'atoms individually' is merely the subject (pakṣa), and 'because they cannot be apprehended' is merely the reason (hetu), while the similar example and the thesis to be proved are omitted; or the inference should run: 'The numerous atoms in aggregate form are not the object of the five consciousnesses (pratijñā); because atoms individually are not apprehended by the five consciousnesses (hetu); like the eye faculty and so forth (dṛṣṭānta).'
