'All these acts of knowing, Pramāṇa, Anumāna, and the like, on the part of the *chitta* are called its *Vṛittis*, because by these the *Chitta* lives, just as the twice-born classes live by performing sacrifices' (yaiḥ pramāṇādi-lakshaṇa-vyāpāraiḥ chittaṁ jīvaṭi te tad-vṛittaya uchyante dvijādīnāṁ yājanādivat).
