成唯識論述記 5.843

5.843

述曰：上解心所義；下釋心所等行相。於中有三：一、總舉；二、引證；三、結。心取境之總相，但總取而已，不別分別。如言緣青，但總取青，不更分別。心所於彼取總、別相，故說「亦」言。何以心王唯取總相，心所兼取總、別二相？且釋名者。

The Commentary states: Above, the meaning of caitasika was explained; below, the ākāra of caitasikas and so on are explained. In this there are three parts: first, a general presentation; second, citing proof; third, conclusion. Citta grasps the general mark (sāmānya-lakṣaṇa) of an object; it merely grasps it generally and does not differentiate specifically. For example, when speaking of taking blue as an object, it merely grasps blue in general without further differentiation. Caitasikas grasp both the general and specific marks with respect to it; hence the word 'also' is spoken. Why is it that the cittarāja only grasps the general mark, while caitasikas grasp both the general and specific marks together? This will now be explained with an analogy.
