Chapter on the Sixfold Knowledge
[5, 5, 79] The right-minded-mind-perception-knowledge-obscuring karma is of three types. By it, the right-minded-mind-perception-knowledge, which is being obstructed, knows the meaning of the right-minded, the meaning of the right-speech, and the meaning of the right-body. || 78 ||
As the name of the activity of the mind, speech, and body, which is free from doubt, error, and indecision, is called right, so the name of the activity of the mind, speech, and body, which is full of doubt, error, and indecision, is called wrong. Among these, indecision is called non-thinking or half-thinking, doubt is called unstable perception, and error is called wrong thinking. This right-minded-mind-perception-knowledge knows only the meaning that is obtained by the mind in its right form, it does not know the meaning of the wrong-minded, which is thought of in a non-thinking, half-thinking, or opposite form.

The word 'mind' here refers to the mind-knowledge, by using the cause as the remedy for the effect. The meaning is that the right-minded-mind-perception-knowing being, by means of mind-knowledge, grasps the minds of others, and by means of mind-perception-knowledge, knows the names, memories, etc., that are present in that mind.
He knows the beings who have a manifest mind, both themselves and others, but he does not know the beings who have an unmanifest mind. || 80 ||
The word 'manifest' here means free from doubt, error, and indecision, and the word 'mind' refers to thought, by using the cause as the remedy for the effect. Therefore, the meaning is that the right-minded-mind-perception-knowing being knows the other things related to himself and other beings, whose thinking is simple and free from doubt, etc., but he does not know the things of the mind of beings who have an unmanifest mind.
