It is also said that mind has the meaning of accumulation, thought has the meaning of cogitation, and consciousness has the meaning of discernment, each being divided into two kinds.

Accumulation has two aspects: first, accumulating active mental modes; second, accumulating seeds (bīja). The first applies to all consciousnesses; the second applies only to the eighth.

Cogitation has two aspects: first, immediate continuous thought (ānantarya-manas); second, manifest cogitation. The first applies to all consciousnesses; the second applies only to the seventh.

Discernment has two aspects: first, subtle; second, coarse. The subtle applies to all consciousnesses; the coarse applies only to the prior six.

Therefore, the *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* says: “All karmas are deceptive and false; accumulation is called mind, cogitation is *manas*, and conceptual discrimination is mental consciousness. The five consciousnesses, such as the eye, discern objects differently, and foolish, ignorant common people are unable to be aware of this.”
