答。有云。樹等既是共相種生。皆相隨順。互相增益。彼一有情自所變者。所緣親用。他所變者。與自所變。為增上緣。亦疎緣用。一切相望。自為所順。他為能順。由所順無。能順亦滅。由斯樹喪。唯識亦成。

Answer: Some say: Since trees and the like are produced from seeds of common characteristics (sāmānya-lakṣaṇa), they all accord with each other and mutually augment each other. What that one sentient being himself transformed is what is directly used as the cognitive object (ālambana). What others transformed serves as an indirect condition (adhipatipratyaya) for what he himself transformed, and is also used as a distant condition. Looking at them altogether, oneself is that which is conformed to, and others are that which conforms. Because that which is conformed to is absent, that which conforms also ceases. Due to this the tree is lost, and consciousness-only is also established.
