答。無心者。但伏前六識麁心。亦稱無心。七八識心猶在。非全無心。如成業論云。心有二種。一集起心。無量種子。集起處故。二種種心。所緣行相。差別轉故。滅定等位。闕。第二心。名無心。如一足馬。闕一足故。亦名無足。

Answer: 'Without citta' merely means that the coarse mind of the first six consciousnesses is suppressed, and for this reason is called 'without citta'; the citta of the seventh and eighth consciousnesses still remains, so it is not completely without citta. As the Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa says: "There are two kinds of citta: first, the accumulative and arising citta, because it is the locus where immeasurable seeds are gathered and arise; second, the variegated citta, because its cognitive objects and active modes operate with distinction. In states such as the absorption of cessation, the second citta is lacking, so it is called 'without citta'. Just as a one-legged horse lacks one leg and is therefore also called 'legless'."
