11.22

From 'In the sūtra' below: second, explaining the meaning. 'Manifesting consciousness' etc.: directly assigning and explaining; it is understandable. From 'Therefore' below: discerning the meaning of the consciousness of phenomena. Since it says 'climbing and taking external objects as conditions', what could it be if not the sixth? Therefore the treatise relies on the sūtra's explanation, and does not discuss the seventh consciousness again. From 'Therefore one knows' below: concluding and harmonizing the two.
