7.55

As for the mind of the paths of deportment: walking, standing, sitting, and lying down are called the paths of deportment; these take visible form, smell, taste, and tangibles as their essential nature. Because this deportment is what the mind takes as its cognitive object, it is called a "path". Deportment is itself the path, hence called "path of deportment"; a mind that takes the paths of deportment as its cognitive object is called a "mind of the paths of deportment". It is the mind of the paths of deportment, a genitive determinative compound (tatpuruṣa). In total there are three kinds of this mind of the paths of deportment: first, the mind that initiates the paths of deportment, which is solely mental consciousness; second, the mind that takes the paths of deportment as its cognitive object, which encompasses the four consciousnesses such as the visual—excluding auditory consciousness—and includes mental consciousness; third, the mind that resembles the paths of deportment, which encompasses the six consciousnesses, like minds that casually take external visible forms, sounds, and so forth as cognitive objects, which are called resembling the paths of deportment.
