mano & mana(s) (nt.) [Vedic manaḥ,see etym.under maññati] I.Declension.Like all other nouns of old s-stems mano has partly retained the s forms (cp.cetah›ceto) & partly follows the a-declension.The form mano is found throughout in cpds.as mano°,the other mana at the end of cpds.as °mana.From stem manas an adj.manasa is formed and the der.mānasa & manassa.

1.Mano represents the intellectual functioning of consciousness,while viñnāṇa represents the field of sense and sense-reaction (“perception”),and citta the subjective aspect of consciousness (cp.Mrs.Rh.D.Buddhist Psychology p.19) – The rendering with “mind” covers most of the connotation; sometimes it may be translated “thought.

2.In Buddhist Psychological Logic the concept mano is often more definitely circumscribed by the addition of the terms (man-)āyatana,(man-)indriya and (mano-)dhātu,which are practically all the same as mano (and its objective correspondent dhammā).

3.As regards the relation of manas to citta,it may be stated,that citta is more substantial (as indicated by translation “heart”),more elemental as the seat of emotion,whereas manas is the finer element,a subtler feeling or thinking as such.
