Answer: Comprehending the general characteristic of sense objects is called the citta-king, because its root, the one mind, is the total origin of all dharmas. Grasping the particular characteristics of sense objects is called caitasika dharmas, truly because its fundamental avidyā confuses the equal nature. The Madhyāntavibhāgaśāstra says: 'Comprehending the general characteristic of sense objects is called citta; grasping the particular characteristics of sense objects is called caitasika dharmas.'
