What are the six? First is the characteristic of knowledge: relying on the objective realm, the mind gives rise to discrimination between the agreeable and disagreeable. Second is the characteristic of continuity: relying on knowledge, it gives rise to feelings of suffering and pleasure, with thoughts arising in the mind associated continuously without interruption. Third is the characteristic of grasping: relying on continuity, it attends to and thinks upon the objective realm, maintaining suffering and pleasure, and the mind gives rise to attachment. Fourth is the characteristic of reckoning names: relying on deluded attachment, it discriminates the characteristics of provisional names and words. Fifth is the characteristic of giving rise to karma: relying on names, it seeks after names and grasps them, creating various kinds of karma. Sixth is the characteristic of suffering bound to karma: because it receives retribution relying on karma, it is without autonomy.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.48) - [Next: 4.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.50) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668~en-mt.4.49) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.218) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasraddhotpadasastra*zh-paramartha.1.24) — Classical Chinese - [起信論疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1844.1.25) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.49) · Pramāṇa
