First, listing the names: 1. the sudden mind; 2. the seeking mind; 3. the determining mind; 4. the defiled or purified mind; 5. the equably flowing mind. The first fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi, in the stage associated with the body of the five consciousnesses, says: 'Arising from the eye-consciousness, three minds are obtainable.' In order, these are the sudden mind, the seeking mind, and the determining mind. The first is the eye-consciousness, and the second is the mental consciousness. Only after the determining mind does defilement or purification occur; and after this, there is the equably flowing eye-consciousness proceeding as wholesome or unwholesome. As with the arising of eye-consciousness, so too up to the body-consciousness. Because the initial three minds are of similar nature and type, only three are mentioned, but in fact the latter two are included.
