The eighth consciousness, "ālaya-vijñāna" (storehouse or repository consciousness), was defined as the storehouse of all karmic seeds, where they gradually matured until ripe, at which point they manifested as karmic consequences. Because of this, it is also called the "mind which has all the seeds" ("sarvabījakam cittam"), as well as the "basic consciousness" ("mūla-vijñāna") and the "appropriating consciousness" ("ādānavijñāna"). According to the "Saṅdhinirmocana Sūtra," this kind of consciousness "underlies" and "supports" the six types of manifest awareness, all of which occur simultaneously with the "ālaya." William S. Waldron sees this "simultaneity of all the modes of cognitive awareness" as the most significant departure of Yogācāra theory from traditional Buddhist models of "vijñāna," which were "thought to occur solely in conjunction with their respective sense bases and epistemic objects."
