Ārammaṇa-paccaya

Ārammaṇa-paccaya (= ālambaṇa-pratyaya) can mean anything that, as object, constitutes a condition for the arising of consciousness (citta) and its concomitants (cetasika).517 We have already indicated how all rūpa-dhammas fall under six different headings according to the way they become the objects of consciousness.518 Rūpa, sadda, gandha, rasa, and phoṭṭhabba are known as objects of the five kinds of viññāṇa named after the corresponding sense-organs (= cakkhu-viññāṇa, sota-viññāṇa, etc.), and the remaining rūpa-dhammas as the objects of mano-viññāṇa. Hence, while the first five items are instanced as ārammaṇa-paccayas in relation to the first five kinds of viññāṇa, the remaining rūpa-dhammas are instanced as ārammaṇa-paccayas in relation to the sixth.
