Answer: Here, this is the basis of the thesis (pakṣa-saṃbandhin). So long as there is an unseparated sense within the other tradition, it can be employed: because the Hīnayāna accepts that visual consciousness cognises matter, taking its substance directly, there is the sense of non-separation; and in addition, they accept that visual consciousness itself is essentially not separate from visual consciousness; therefore, there is no fallacy of an unestablished qualifier.
