Factor 9 - Vicara (sustained application of the mind on the object)

This mental factor occurs only after vitakka and it means sustained concentration. Functionally it is incessant thinking about an object. Vitakka can not stay fixed for long on an object but vicara captures the object brought by vitakka; it sustains the application of the mind on the object for a long time.
