3.209

問：「如第七識緣第八執我可名非量，汎緣衣瓶，既非執心，何名非量？」答：「應知非量不要執心，但不秤境，別作餘解，即名非量。以緣瓶心雖不必執，但惑亂故，謂為實瓶，故是非量。」

Question: 'Just as the seventh consciousness apprehending the eighth and grasping it as a self can be called non-pramāṇa, when one generally apprehends cloth or a pot, since it is not an attitude of grasping, why is it called non-pramāṇa?' Answer: 'One should know that non-pramāṇa does not require an attitude of grasping; as long as it does not match the object and produces an extraneous understanding, it is called non-pramāṇa. For although the mind apprehending a pot does not necessarily grasp it [as a self], merely because it is confused and takes it to be a real pot, it is therefore non-pramāṇa.'
