又能藏下,所藏義,謂此識體藏在根身種子器世間中,以根身等是此識之相分故。如珠在像中,不同身在室中。若覓梨耶識,只在色心中;欲覓摩尼珠,只在青黃內。又能藏諸法下,能藏義也,謂根身等法皆藏在識體之中,如像在珠內。欲覓一切法,總在梨耶中;欲覓一切像,總在摩尼內。然但以前義互為能所也。論云下,引《唯識》證成。可知。

"Furthermore, that which can store...", etc., is the meaning of "what is stored," meaning that the essence of this consciousness is stored within the sense-organs, body, seeds, and receptacle world, because the sense-organs, body, and so on are the object aspect of this consciousness. It is like a jewel within an image, unlike a body within a room. If you search for the ālaya-consciousness, it is only within physical and mental dharmas; if you wish to find a cintāmaṇi jewel, it is only within blue and yellow. "Furthermore, can store all dharmas...", etc., is the meaning of "that which stores," meaning that dharmas such as the sense-organs and body are all stored within the essence of the consciousness, like images within a jewel. If you wish to find all dharmas, they are entirely within the ālaya; if you wish to find all images, they are entirely within the cintāmaṇi. However, they are merely subject and object mutually in terms of the earlier meanings. "The treatise says...", etc., cites the Vijñaptimātra to substantiate it. It is clear.
