The Treatise: "Herein is displayed the mental transformation of reception: cetanā associated with sensation is capable of moving one's mind and causing it to experience suffering and pleasure; therefore it is named mental action of reception.

The second is the analytical answer (vibhajya-vyākaraṇa). For example, someone asks: 'Will all who die definitely be reborn? Are the Jewels of the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha only one?'"
