36.8

Answer: In terms of doctrine, four are spoken of: 1. Lucid manovijñāna, which together with the first five consciousnesses takes the five dusts as conditions, distinct and lucid. 2. Manovijñāna in concentration, which induces the superior concentration and arises within concentration. 3. Solitary distracted manovijñāna, which does not take conditions together with the first five; to distinguish it from the lucid, the name 'solitary' is established; further, because it does not arise within concentration, it is called 'distracted,' for it arises solely in the distracted state. 4. Manovijñāna in dream, because this consciousness arises in the state of sleep.
