Answer: The text now cited states: 'Because the seeds of the consciousnesses having vitarka and vicāra follow along with the samādhi that is without vitarka and without vicāra, when one arises from that [samādhi], these [consciousnesses] are able to become manifest. Furthermore, after these arise and the consciousnesses are operating, they are again followed along by the seeds of the samādhi without vitarka and without vicāra; therefore, this stage is not exclusively without vitarka and without vicāra. Because those sentient beings have become detached from vitarka and vicāra through the nature of detachment, although that stage is called without vitarka and without vicāra, it is also not a fault for these to become manifest again.' According to this question and answer, the five consciousnesses can thus have vitarka and vicāra.
