答。不具。古釋云。八識於三界九地其有無者。欲界一地。具有八種識。色界初禪一地。只有六識。無鼻舌二識。從二禪已上。乃至無色界已來。唯有後三識。無前五識。欲界人天鬼畜四趣。皆具八識。就地獄趣中。無間獄無前五識。唯有後三識。或兼無第六。已居極重悶位故。

Answer: They are not entirely present. Ancient explanations state: Regarding the presence or absence of the eight consciousnesses across the three realms and nine stages: the single stage of the desire realm completely possesses the eight consciousnesses. The first dhyāna stage of the form realm has only six consciousnesses, lacking the two consciousnesses of nose and tongue. From the second dhyāna upward, through the formless realm, there are only the last three consciousnesses, lacking the first five consciousnesses. Among the four destinies of humans, devas, hungry ghosts, and animals in the desire realm, all possess the eight consciousnesses. As for the destiny of the hells, the Avīci hell lacks the first five consciousnesses, having only the last three consciousnesses, or also lacking the sixth, because [the beings there] have already fallen into states of extreme stupor.
