Moreover, when the receptacle world is damaged, the eighth \[consciousness\] likewise does not share wellbeing and peril together with it; therefore it is not appropriated. As for hair, fur, nails, teeth, bladder, accumulated urine, and the like, although they are close, they are already subsumed under external receptacle \[matter\]; therefore the eighth \[consciousness\] likewise does not appropriate them. Consequently, with respect to the eighth \[consciousness\] either sustaining or conditioning, four alternatives should be formed: 1. sustaining but not conditioning: namely, the untainted seeds; 2. conditioning but not sustaining: namely, the active manifestations of the receptacle world; 3. both \[sustaining and conditioning\]: namely, the sense faculties and dusts of the internal body; 4. neither \[sustaining nor conditioning\]: namely, the active manifestations of the preceding seven \[consciousnesses\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 49.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.4) - [Next: 49.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.6) - [Up: 49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.49.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.5) · Pramāṇa
