[ [[Tsongkhapa]] has a rather tortured way of explaining this; he compares the arising of visual consciousness from the dominant, object and immediate conditions (i.e. eye, visual form and attention) with its arising from name (= attention) and form ( = eye and visual form). But since he equates nama with the latter four [[skandha]]s, he is forced to imply that [[vijnana]] arises from vijnana, i.e. A is the cause of A. No doubt Tibetans would explain this away by arguing that A is the cause of A+1 etc., but this is not convincing in context. Tsongkhapa seems unaware that nowhere in the early canon does the Buddha include vijnana in nama. [[Nagarjuna]], however, does seem to follow this early tradition here.]

[Lha. *phyir; **pa'o].

1. In order to become again, those obscured by ignorance are moved into destinies by actions which are impelled [by] the three kinds of formative impulses.

[Lha. *'chags]

2. Consciousness conditioned by formative impulses enters into destinies. When consciousness has entered, name and form develop.

/skye mched drug ni 'byung bar 'gyur/

/skye mched drug la brten nas ni/

/reg pa yang dag 'byung bar 'gyur//

[Lha. *'chags]

3. When name and form develop, the six senses emerge. In dependence upon the six senses, impact actually occurs.

4. /*ming dang gzugs dang dran byed la/

/brten nas skye ba kho na ste/

/de ltar **ming dang gzugs brten nas/

/rnam par shes pa skye bar 'gyur//

[Ts., Lha. *mig. Lha. **mig - Ts. has ming] - [Skt. has caksuh ('caksus' = seeing, clearness, light; the act or faculty of seeing ) and nama (name; i.e. named , called ) resp.]

4. Just as [it] only arises in dependence on the eye, [[[visual]]] form and attention, so consciousness arises in dependence on name and form.

[ Tsongkhapa has a rather tortured way of explaining this; he compares the arising of visual consciousness from the dominant, object and immediate conditions (i.e. eye, visual form and attention) with its arising from name (= attention) and form ( = eye and visual form). But since he equates nama with the latter four skandhas, he is forced to imply that vijnana arises from vijnana, i.e. A is the cause of A. No doubt Tibetans would explain this away by arguing that A is the cause of A+1 etc., but this is not convincing in context. Tsongkhapa seems unaware that nowhere in the early canon does the Buddha include vijnana in nama. Nagarjuna, however, does seem to follow this early tradition here.]

5. /mig dang gzugs dang rnam par shes/

/de ni reg pa'o reg de las/

/tshor ba kun tu 'byung bar 'gyur//

5. The gathering of the three: eye and [[[visual]]] form and consciousness, that is "impact." From impact feeling totally arises.

/tshor ba'i don du sred par 'gyur/

[Lha. *nas]

6. Due to the condition of feeling, there is craving; one craves for what is felt. When one craves, one clings to the four aspects of clinging [[[sense objects]], views, morals and rules, and views of self].
