Explanation
a In the first parittà-rammaõa vãthi, the sense object and the
cakkhu-pasàda (eye-door) arise together at the arising instant
of the first atàta-bhavaïga. The sense-object takes 4 conscious
moments for its full development and it becomes distinct
at the arising instant of bhavaïga-calàna (Na). The lifecontinuum
(bhavaïga-stream) vibrates twice and becomes
arrested (Na-Da). Then the cognitive series proceeds in the
order of pa¤ca-dvàràvajjana, cakkhu-vi¤¤àõa, sampañicchana,
santiraõa and voññhapana. At this point, 11 conscious
moments have elapsed since the genesis of the sense-object
and the object can last for only 6 more conscious-moments.
In normal situations, the javana usually occurs for 7
conscious-moments and if there is no enough time, it does
not occur at all. In other words, as the object is not distinct
and not known precisely, no javana arises to enjoy the taste
of the object.
So two more voññhapana cittas arise in place of javana
to determine two more times whether the object is good
or bad. After that the conscious-stream sinks into lifecontinuum.
The sense-object and the eye-door dissolve at
the dissolving instant of the fourth bhavaïga, and lifecontinuum
flows on as usual after that.
