3 As the mind-object such as cittas, cetasikas, kasiõa-nimittas
or Nibbàna itself may appear at the mind-door, no atitàbhavaïga
need occur; the object appears at the minddoor
as soon as it strikes the door.
4 The objects that appear at the mind-door should not be
differentiated as atimahantà-rammaõa or mahantàrammaõa;
they should be differentiated as vibhåtàrammaõa
(clear object) or avibhåtà-rammaõa (obscure
object).
Kàma-javana-mano-dvàra-vãthi Cittas
In mano-dvàra vãthis there are only 3 types of consciousness—
namely, “avajjana, javana and tadàlambaõa”.
The numbers of cittas in the longest mano-dvàra vãthi are: 1
mano-dvàràvajjana citta, 7 javana cittas and 2 tadàlambaõa cittas,
totaling 10 in all.
The number of cittas that can participate in mano-dvàra vãthis
are: 1 mano-dvàravajjana citta, 29 kàma-javana cittas and 11
tadàlambaõa cittas, totaling 41 in all.
Secondary Mano-dvàra Vãthis
When one of the six sense-objects enters the avenue of the minddoor
directly, we get primary mano-dvàra vãthis as described
above. But there are secondary mano-dvàra vãthis which follow
each and everyone of the pa¤ca-dvàra vãthi.
In a pa¤ca-dvàra vãthi, the sense-impression is processed only
to the extent to be known roughly whether it is good or bad.
The form, the shape, the detailed features and the name of the
object are not known yet.
