continually examining and assessing

• The most common characterization of the manas consciousness 末那識 as taught in the eight-consciousness scheme of the Yogâcāra school. Among the eight consciousness, it is only the manas that has this function. Although the eighth consciousness also shares in the characteristic of unbroken continuity, it does not have any discriminatory function. And although the sixth consciousness also shares in having examining and assessing functionality, it has interruptions 間斷 and therefore its mentation is incomplete. 〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.7b28〕 [resp.
