karmic imprint, latent (vasana, pakchak): Every action that one does has an imprint which is stored in the eighth or alaya consciousness. These latencies express themselves later by leaving the eighth consciousness and entering the sixth (mental) consciousness upon being stimulated by external conditions or experiences.

See also; “eight consciousnesses.”
