Consciousness has the meaning of discerning; consciousness relies on the faculty and is able to discern the sense object; hence these six are universally called consciousness.

This causes one to know the fallacy of grasping \[such a view\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.108) - [Next: 1.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.110) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.1.109) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.109) · Pramāṇa
