That is, it must cause the relying citta and caittas to condition and grasp the object of their basis; only then does it become a basis. Now, the active eighth consciousness cannot cause the seeds to grasp their own cognitive objects, and therefore it is not a basis. The seeds within the eighth consciousness presently lack cognitive consideration and cannot grasp their own cognitive objects; hence the eighth is not the basis of the seeds, but merely has the sense of a support. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 72.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.72.28) - [Next: 72.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.72.30) - [Up: 72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.72) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.72.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.72.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.72.29) · Pramāṇa
