Commentary: Next is the differentiation and explanation below, specifically explaining the five manas, which is divided into five parts.

Previously, relative to avidyā it was a characteristic, being the manifestation of the substance of avidyā; here, relative to the true mind, it is called consciousness. Relying on the mind, it is the manas that is relied upon; the consciousness forms the manas. The subsequent ones should be understood accordingly. > "The power of avidyā" adduces the condition relied upon, clarifying that the mind does not arise of itself, but when it arises it must have conditions. > "The unawakened mind is stirred" directly clarifies the meaning of karma, because the meaning of stirring into activity is the meaning of karma. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.55) - [Next: 3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.57) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.3.56) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.264) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.132) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.56) · Pramāṇa
