According to Abhidharma, mind object(dharmadhātu) and mind consciousness(mana-vijñāna / manovijñāna) do not involve mana-indriya(mana-dhātu / manodhātu) for the arising of cognition. *The mana-dhātu or manodhātu can manifest as object element(viṣayadhātu)based on the former moment of cognition (of any of the 6 types). Hence, cognition can arise from manodhātu and mindconsciousness(mana-vijñāna / manovijñāna) as well.

For the first 5 indriya, there are corresponding dharmas of “form-clarity” (rūpa-prasāda) in our body, a derivative type of form that can function as the basis(āśraya - the support) for the arising of consciousness.


According to Abhidharma, mind object(dharmadhātu) and mind consciousness(mana-vijñāna / manovijñāna) do not involve mana-indriya(mana-dhātu / manodhātu) for the arising of cognition. *The mana-dhātu or manodhātu can manifest as object element(viṣayadhātu)based on the former moment of cognition (of any of the 6 types). Hence, cognition can arise from manodhātu and mindconsciousness(mana-vijñāna / manovijñāna) as well.
