The Bodhisattvabuddhānusmṛtisamādhisūtra says: 'Citta is like vajra, because its roots of good pierce through all dharmas. Citta is like kālindika cloth, soft and pliable, because its roots of good can perform activities. Citta is like the great ocean, because its roots of good gather all masses of precepts. Citta is like a flat stone, because its roots of good maintain all activities. Citta is like the king of mountains, because its roots of good produce all wholesome dharmas. Citta is like the great earth, because its roots of good bear and sustain the activities of sentient beings.'
