大乘百法明門論疏 1.52

1.52

Explanation: "In the treatises, it is only said that it grasps the ālaya-vijñāna as the self and what belongs to the self; it is not said that it grasps its nimitta-bhāga as what belongs to the self. The manas directly grasps the ālaya-vijñāna as the self and what belongs to the self; how could it further externally grasp the nimitta-bhāga as what belongs to the self? In terms of meaning, this is unacceptable. Therefore, it does not cognize the eighth ālaya-vijñāna, [which in turn] cognizes the seeds, the five sense faculties, and the five sense objects."
