O Devahūti! From the transformation of ahaṅkāra in rajas, buddhi, consciousness directed to manifestation of objects, appeared. It assists the senses. To make a distinction from citta, buddhi is described as vijṣāna, that which manifests an object. But because it is also awareness it is said to be a quality of citta. Buddhi shows favour to the senses: without buddhi, the five senses cannot operate. Even though citta, ahaṅkāra and mind also assist the senses, buddhi gives special assistance. When I hear a sound, first, it is registered by citta as simply awareness (cetanā). By buddhi I realize “This is a sound.” By the mind, I develop desire for the sound. By ahaṅkāra, it is related to one’s identity. This is how the object becomes manifest to a person.
