答曰。偈言。依彼本心智。識妄取外境。是故如來說。有內外諸入。此依無始心意識等種子轉變。虛妄見彼色香味等外諸境界。是故如來依此虛妄二種法故。作如是說。一本識種子。二虛妄外境界等。依此二法。如來說有眼色等入。

> Based on the original cognition of that citta,  
> consciousness falsely grasps external sense-objects.  
> Therefore, the Tathāgata spoke of  
> the existence of the internal and external sense bases.  
>   
> This is based on the transformations of the seeds of the beginningless citta, manas, manovijñāna, and so forth, falsely perceiving those external sense-objects such as forms, sounds, scents, and tastes. Therefore, relying on these two kinds of false phenomena, the Tathāgata spoke in such a manner: first, the seeds of the original consciousness; second, the false external sense-objects, and so forth. Relying on these two phenomena, the Tathāgata said there are the sense bases of the eye, form, and so on.
