3.201

彼復問云:「何故即智復名果耶?」答云:「夫言量果者,能智知於彼,即此量智能觀、能證彼二境相故,所以名果。彼之境相於心上現,名而有顯現,假說心之一分,名為能量,云如有作用。既於一心以義分能、所,故量果又名為量。或彼所量即於心現,不離心故,亦名為量,以境亦心,依二分解。」

They ask again: 'Why is cognition itself again called the result?' He answers: 'When one speaks of the result of the means of knowing, the active cognition knows that [object]; because this cognitive means of knowing can observe and realize the characteristics of those two objects, it is called the result. The characteristics of that object appear upon the mind, which is called "manifestly appearing"; provisionally, a part of the mind is called the means of knowing, said to be "as if having an activity." Since in a single mind the agent and the object are conceptually distinguished, the result of the means of knowing is also called the means of knowing. Or, that object to be known appears directly upon the mind, and because it is not separate from the mind, it is also called the means of knowing; since the object is also the mind, it is explained in terms of the two divisions.'
