In principle, it actually also causes the other mental factors to be active, but one speaks of the mind because it is predominant. Therefore, the Nyāyānusāra states: "Because of the existence of volition, the mind is made to have active functioning toward objects. It is like the power of a lodestone, which can cause iron to move." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.4.39) - [Next: 4.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.4.41) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821~en-mt.4.40) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [俱舍論疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.4.45) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨順正理論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!nyayanusara*zh-xuanzang.10.12) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨藏顯宗論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!abhidharmakosasastrakarikabhasya*zh-xuanzang.5.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.4.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.4.40) · Pramāṇa
