Explanation
One of the six sense-objects which may be present, past, future
or time-freed, must enter the avenue of the mind-door to initiate
the kàma-javana mano-dvàra vãthis.
1 When the sense-object is of very great intensity, the lifecontinuum
vibrates twice and becomes arrested (Na-
Da) on the appearance of the sense-object at the minddoor.
Then mano-dvàra-vajjana (Ma) adverts the
consciousness-stream towards the sense-object,
observes the object and decides whether it is good or
bad.
In accordance with this decision, one of the 29 kàmajavana
cittas performs the javana function for seven
conscious moments enjoying the taste of the senseobject.
Then two tadàlambaõa cittas follow suit enjoying
the taste of the sense-object further. After that, bhavaïga
cittas sink into life-continuum.
