因明入正理論疏 3.214

3.214

述曰：此釋定名。由彼瓶、衣依四塵假，但意識緣共相而轉，實非眼識現量而得，自謂眼見瓶、衣等，名似現量。又但分別執為實有，謂自識現得，亦名似現。不但似眼現量而得，名似現量。此釋盡理，前解局故。

The commentary says: This explains the establishment of the name. Because those pots and cloth are designations based on the four sense-spheres, and mental consciousness merely operates by apprehending their common characteristic, they are not actually attained by the valid perception of the visual consciousness; yet one takes oneself to visually see pots, cloth, and the like, so it is called pseudo-perception. Furthermore, merely conceptualising and grasping them as real existents, thinking that they are directly attained by one's own consciousness, is also called pseudo-perception. It is not called pseudo-perception solely because it resembles being attained by visual perception. This explanation is fully comprehensive, whereas the previous interpretation was limited.
