If it conditioned them by manifesting a shadow \[image\], then the eighth \[consciousness\] would commit the fault of conditioning what is nominal. If it conditioned them directly, it would commit the fault of failing to establish the meaning of consciousness-only, because it would directly apprehend another's mind. Ximing says: 'If it conditioned them by manifesting a shadow \[image\], then the realm of sentient beings would have the fault of increasing, because by manifesting and giving rise to the active manifestations of the preceding seven, there would be a duplicate seventh, and so on.' Another explanation says: mental dharmas must be produced from seeds; now the vipāka eighth consciousness is subtle and inferior, so even if it were to condition the preceding seven, it could not perfume seeds; therefore it does not condition them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 49.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.6) - [Next: 49.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.8) - [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.49.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.49.7) · Pramāṇa
