[1567] P.: Is it not to be said that "the five consciousnesses (viññāṇa) arise in immediate succession to one another"? S.: Yes. P.: But is there not someone who dances, sings, and plays music, and who sees a form (rūpa), and hears a sound, and smells an odour, and tastes a flavour, and touches a tangible object (phoṭṭhabba)? S.: Yes. P.: If there is someone who dances, sings, and plays music, and who sees a form, and hears a sound, and smells an odour, and tastes a flavour, and touches a tangible object, then indeed, sir, it should be said that "the five consciousnesses arise in immediate succession to one another."
