The five object-determining mental states (Skt. viṣayaniyata; Wyl. yul nges lnga) are a set of mental factors among the fifty-one mental states, so-called because they determine the coming into contact of the mind and objects. They are:

  1. Interest (Skt. chanda; Wyl. ‘dun pa)
  2. Appreciation (Skt. adhimokṣa; Wyl. mos pa)
  3. Mindfulness (Skt. smṛti; Wyl. dran pa)
  4. Concentration (Skt. samādhi; Wyl. ting ‘dzin)
  5. Intelligence (Skt. prajñā; Wyl. shes rab)
