4.43

First, identifying the substance: If one speaks solely of the view of a self of living beings and of phenomena (pudgala- and dharma-ātmadṛṣṭi), their substance is solely prajñā among the specific mental factors, and the satkāyadṛṣṭi among the root kleśas. Therefore the Yogācārabhūmi says: 'The five views exist conventionally, because they are subdivisions of prajñā. Apart from prajñā they have no substance, having solely sāsrava defiled prajñā as their substance.' If one speaks of the clinging to a self of living beings and of phenomena (pudgala- and dharma-ātmagrāha), according to what is appropriate to the breadth or narrowness of the two clingings, the four aggregates associated with prajñā constitute their substance.
