Answer: The darśanabhāga cogitates a self, and because the darśanabhāga falsely grasps, it is called a non-pramāṇa. The svasaṃvittibhāga internally verifies the darśanabhāga's false grasping; therefore, the substance of the svasaṃvittibhāga is direct perception (pratyakṣa). Thus, both substance and function are cogitation. Consequently, the two internal parts are also called 'manas' and also called 'vijñāna'; the darśanabhāga is also called 'manas' and also called 'vijñāna' because it is the function of manas. Cogitation is function, and manas is substance; cogitation is itself manas, which is an appositional compound (karmadhāraya).
