Sāketa-pañha.—The Aṭṭhasālinī¹ mentions that once the Elder Tipiṭaka-Mahādhammarakkhita, in talking of consciousness, referred to the “ Saketapañha.” It is said that in Sāketa the monks raised the query, “ When by one volition kamma is put forth, is there one conception only, or different conceptions ?” Unable to decide, they consulted the Abhidhamma Elders, who declared that just as from one mango only one sprout puts forth, so by one volition there is only one conception, and for different volitions, different conceptions.
