This is very interesting, since I have been writing a study (in Norwegian)
of the Madhyantavibhaga, where I also discuss this possible connection
between the alayavijnana and the bhavanga. Do you have an exact source for
this Vasubandhu reference? I would very much like to mention this in my
study, and there is still time, since the manuscript is not going to print
for a while.
