此中下，二、釋疑。或問曰：「若然者，云何前引經言如來藏不在梨耶中？」故此釋通，以義說如此，非事異也。餘義準此者，今文舉喻，且約濕性對浪而說，以喻藏性唯不生滅，對七識唯生滅一義以論即離，對餘二義，理亦準知，故云思之。故前文云：隨舉一義，即融攝自體也。

Under 'herein', second, resolving doubts. Someone might ask: 'If that is so, why did the sūtra cited earlier say that the tathāgatagarbha is not within the ālaya?' Therefore this resolves and penetrates it: it is spoken in this way in terms of meaning, not that the actual phenomena are different. 'The remaining meanings are to be measured by this': now the text presents an analogy, speaking temporarily in terms of the nature of wetness versus waves, using it to analogize that the garbha-nature is solely unarising-and-unceasing, and discussing identity and separation in contrast to the single meaning that the seven consciousnesses are solely arising-and-ceasing; regarding the remaining two meanings, the principle can also be known by analogy, hence it says 'reflect upon it'. Therefore the previous text says: 'As each meaning is presented, it melts and subsumes its own essence.'
