uppàda appear
dissolve
Explanation
Bha: bhavaïga – life-continuum
At first there is a stream of bhavaïga cittas (lifecontinuum)
(the small circles represent three small
instants that make up a cittakkhana).
Ti: atàta-bhavaïga – past bhavaïga
At the arising, instant of this citta, the visible object
and the cakkhu-pasàda arise simultaneously. This is
the arising instant (uppàda) of råpàrammaõa (visible
object).
Na: bhavaïga-calàna – vibrating life-continuum
At the arising instant of this citta, råpà-rammaõa
appears (becomes distinct) at cakkhu-pasàda (eye-door)
Note that atimahantàrammaõa takes one cittakkhaõa for
its full development after uppàda.
Da: bhavaïgupaccheda – arresting life-continuum
Bhavaïga-stream is cut off after the dissolution of this
citta.
Pa: pa¤ca-dvàràvajjana – five-door-adverting consciousness
It is always the first citta in the cognitive series of
pa¤ca-dvàra vãthis. It adverts the consciousness stream
towards the sense-door.
Ca: cakkhu-vi¤¤àna – eye consciousness
It sees the visible object. It makes the sense impression
