The first alternative is possessing the eye faculty but not possessing eye-consciousness: that is, being born in the stages of the second, third, or fourth dhyānas when eye-consciousness does not arise. The second alternative is possessing eye-consciousness but not possessing the eye faculty: that is, being born in the desire realm not having yet acquired the eye faculty, or having acquired it and then lost it. That is, being born in the desire realm, one necessarily possesses consciousness, because the dharmas of that stage are possessed. 'Not having yet acquired the faculty' refers to the time of initial conception in the womb; 'having acquired it and then lost it' refers to a person who is blind after birth. Since they have no eye faculty, they do not possess it. The third alternative means being born in the desire realm, having acquired the eye without losing it, and being born in the Brahmā world; or if born in the second, third, or fourth dhyāna, when directly seeing visible form, both faculty and consciousness are possessed. The fourth alternative refers to states other than the aforesaid. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.2.50) - [Next: 2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.2.52) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.2.51) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [阿毘達磨順正理論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!nyayanusara*zh-xuanzang.5.10) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨俱舍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!bhasya*zh-xuanzang.2.26) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨藏顯宗論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!abhidharmakosasastrakarikabhasya*zh-xuanzang.3.38) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.2.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.2.51) · Pramāṇa
