70.4

In the Vijñānasiddhi, a question is asked: 'Because there is evidence and proof from the Āgamas, if the mind and consciousness merely see external spheres through false discrimination and eye-consciousness and the rest are not produced from external spheres such as forms, then for what reason did the Tathāgata teach the twelve kinds of āyatanas, such as the eye and form? It is clearly known that external spheres such as forms, smells, and tastes exist.'
