1.103

Regarding "if it transformed into mind, etc., it would lack utility, etc.": "Etc." includes by extension all caitta dharmas. Why would transforming into mind lack real utility? The following two clauses explain this meaning, saying: "because mind, etc. as nimitta-bhāga cannot take objects." If it transformed into mind, etc., they would be nimitta-bhāga. Since a mind that is nimitta-bhāga lacks the function of taking objects, the ālayavijñāna does not transform into mind, etc.
