“I-making” (ahaṅkāra) emphasizes the active role of the mind in creating a sense of self through its thoughts, habits, and desires. This is in contrast with the English notion of “ego”, which presents self as a given construct. | “Mine-making” (mamaṅkāra) is the propensity of the mind to appropriate things as possessions. | “Conscious body” (saviññāṇake kāye) echoes Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.4.2, where the dying man descends into a new life being “one with consciousness” (savijñano bhavati). | “All signs” (sabbanimitta) are the “features” (also nimitta) that characterize sensory stimulation (eg. MN 112:15.1).
