This is the second [section], explaining the five viniyatas. As for 'viniyata' (specific object), they take specific objects as conditions, hence they are called viniyata. What is meant by 'specific'? For instance, regarding chanda, desiring an object before oneself is called chanda; if one does not desire the object, then there is no chanda. The chanda that desires and [the state of] not desiring—these two kinds are distinct, hence it is called 'specific'. And so on up to the fifth mental factor, prajñā: discriminating dharmas is called prajñā; not discriminating dharmas is not called prajñā. The prajñā that discriminates and [the state of] not discriminating—these two kinds are distinct, hence it is called 'specific'.
