大乘百法明門論開宗義決 1.98

1.98

不待名言及待此餘根境起者。不待名言者。謂不要待色聲香等名言而取自所取義。不待餘根者。即分別根。謂眼識生但任運緣不待意根。先分別已然後了別。若緣瓶等要待名言及色香等方起瓶覺。不待餘境者。謂色等境一一皆用眾塵所成。如眼觀色但直觀色。不待別知此四大種及聲香味觸諸餘境故方了色相。故名不待餘境。

Regarding "arising without depending on conventional designation and without depending on other faculties or objects": "Not depending on conventional designation" means not having to depend on conventional names such as form, sound, or fragrance to grasp the meaning of what it grasps. "Not depending on other faculties" refers to the conceptualizing faculty; it means that the arising of eye-consciousness takes its object purely spontaneously without waiting for the mental faculty to first conceptualize before cognizing. If one takes an object like a vase, one must depend on conventional designations as well as color, fragrance, etc., before the conception of a vase arises. "Not depending on other objects" means that objects such as form are each composed of multiple particles; as when the eye sees form, it merely sees the form directly, without having to separately cognize the four great elements, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and other remaining objects before cognizing the characteristic of form. Hence it is called "not depending on other objects."
