The *Yogācārabhūmiśāstra* says: 'First, discriminating only their own intentional objects; second, discriminating only their own characteristics (svalakṣaṇa); third, discriminating only the present; fourth, discriminating only for a single instant; fifth, operating in accordance with the manovijñāna, operating in accordance with the wholesome or defiled, and operating in accordance with the initiation of karma; sixth, being able to grasp pleasant and unpleasant retributions.'
