(1) The coarse marks of discriminating knowledge 智相; the function of the manifest consciousness that produces mental discrimination. (2) The coarse mark of continuity 相续相; the arising of pleasant and unpleasant sensations as a result of the functioning of the mark of discriminating knowledge. (3) The coarse mark of attachment 执取相; The attachment to the sensations of the second mark. (4) The coarse mark of defining names 计名字相; assigning names to the sensations. (5) The coarse mark of producing karma 起业相; performing good and evil activities based on attachment to the sensations. (6) The coarse mark of the suffering produced by karma 业系苦相; entering the course of transmigration due to the binding karma resulting from these attachments.
