The five consciousnesses are named according to their bases, possessing five meanings in all: relying, generating, belonging, and assisting, as stated in the verse. 'Relying' is one of the five meanings. If analyzed as a compound: the consciousness that relies on the base, or assists the base, or is like the base, are all tatpuruṣa compounds; the consciousness generated by the base is also a tatpuruṣa compound, or saying 'the consciousness generated by the base' provides yet another example. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865.1.11) - [Next: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865.1.13) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865~en-mt.1.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1865.1.12) · Pramāṇa
