大乘百法明門論解 1.48

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1836.1.48)

華言意識，如藏識名識，即意故；第六意識，如眼識名識，異意故。然諸聖教，恐此濫彼故，於第七但立意名；又以簡心之與識，以積集、了別劣餘識故；或欲顯此與彼意識為近所依故，但立意名爾。

> In Chinese this is rendered as 'mental consciousness' (意識). Just as the storehouse consciousness is named consciousness \[because\] it is itself the mind (citta), \[so this seventh is consciousness because\] it is itself the manas (意). The sixth, mental consciousness (mano-vijñāna), is like the eye-consciousness being named consciousness \[because\] it is different from the eye \[faculty\]; \[similarly it is different from the manas\]. However, the various holy teachings, fearing that this \[seventh\] would be confused with that \[sixth\], only established the name 'manas' for the seventh; furthermore, it is to distinguish it from citta and vijñāna, since its accumulating and discerning are inferior to the other consciousnesses; or else, desiring to show that this \[seventh\] serves as the immediate basis for that mental consciousness \[of the sixth\], they merely established the name 'manas'.
