54.9

Answer: Three consciousnesses are present. The eighth first takes the Buddha's undefiled sounds, names, phrases, and syllables as the fundamental substance (vastu); the ear consciousness conditions the sound, and the manovijñāna simultaneously conditions the names, phrases, syllables, and so forth. Only then is it called 'hearing'.
