San Hyan Tattvajnana
The coarsening of Puruṣa's consciousness, stained by the three guṇas, giving rise to the qualities citta-sattva, citta-rajas, citta-tamas.
*Citta* is the *cetana* of Puruṣa, stained and soiled by the *triguṇa*.
From the meeting of Pradhāna and Puruṣa, there are born *citta* and *guṇa*.
Vrhaspatitattva
The threefold mind-stuff (sattva, rajas, tamas) born from pradhānatattva via the Lord's power of action, determining the soul's destiny.
That indeed is the path to heaven.
this is the mark of the mind-stuff.
That is the mind-stuff called *tamas*.
