5.23

Answer: Traditionally there are two explanations: First, it is said: There is no single moment in which it can experience two objects, therefore it is accompanied by whichever one occurs. Second, it is said: Precisely in a single moment it can experience two objects, because the objects arrive simultaneously; following the stronger object, it is accompanied by only one sensation, just as the mental consciousness accompanying the five senses is accompanied by a sensation following whichever object is stronger; therefore, this should also be like that.
