same-way for persons who use the third jhàna-samàdhi, the fourth

be known as the third jhàna sotàpatti path-consciousness, the
fourth jhàna sotàpatti path-consciousness and the fifth jhàna
sotàpatti path-consciousness, respectively.
So there are 5 sotàpatti path-consciousness. In other words
we are multiplying sotàpatti path-consciousness with 5 råpàvacara
jhànas. In the same way there are 5 sakadàgàmi path-consciousness,
5 anàgàmi path-consciousness and 5 arahatta pathconsciousness.
Thus the total number of path-consciousness is 20.
As the fruition immediately follows the path without any
lapse in time, there are also 20 fruition-consciousness.
Thus in the samatha-yànika route there are altogether 40 types
of supramundane consciousness.
