Answer: The mūla-dharmin object is one, but in relation to the cognizing factors, it is divided conceptually into four, called 'what is desired', etc.; thus there is strictly no contradiction. Take a single object: wanting to observe it is called 'what is desired'; adhimokṣa determining it is called 'determined'; smṛti remembering it clearly is called 'previously experienced'; and samādhi focusing while wisdom discriminates it is called 'what is observed'. By this, the mental factors of the same conjunction share a single cognitive object.
