三攝末歸本識。心內所取境界顯然，內能取心作用亦爾，此見相分俱依識有。離識自體本，末法必無故。《三十頌》言「由假說我法，有種種相轉。彼依識所變，此能變唯三。」《成唯識》說「變謂識體轉似二分，相見俱依自體起故。」《解深密》說「諸識所緣，唯識所現。攝相見末，歸識本故。」所說理事真俗觀等，皆此門攝。

3. Consciousness of gathering the branches back to the root. The grasped object within the mind is apparent, and the grasping mind within has functions that are also like this; these subjective and objective aspects both exist in dependence on consciousness. Because apart from the root that is the self-nature of consciousness, the branch dharmas definitely do not exist. The Triṃśikā says: 'Because of the metaphorical designation of self and phenomena, / There are evolutions of various aspects; / They depend on the transformations of consciousness, / And these transformers are only three.' The Cheng weishi lun states: 'Transformation means that the substance of consciousness turns to resemble two parts, because both the objective and subjective aspects arise relying on the self-nature.' The Saṃdhinirmocana states: 'What is conditioned by the consciousnesses is only what is manifested by consciousness, because the branch subjective and objective aspects are gathered back to the root of consciousness.' The explanations of contemplating facts and principles, true and conventional, and so forth, are all subsumed under this gate.
