The Commentary states: This is the second master. They are attained only in the stage of buddhahood, because after anāsrava, sāsrava never arises again. All who are not buddhas lack the anāsrava five consciousnesses. Why do they lack them? In any bodies other than that of a buddha, the five sense faculties are definitely sāsrava. Why are those five sense faculties not admitted to be anāsrava? Because they are subsumed under the objective image (nimittabhāga) of the heterogeneous ripening consciousness (vipākavijñāna); what is cognized by the eighth consciousness must definitely share its sāsrava or anāsrava status. Question: What meaning contradicts a sāsrava sense faculty giving rise to an anāsrava consciousness?
