c5.s2.t13.5

² Masuda, *op. cit.*, I, 22-4, *Kvu.*, xviii, 9; x, 3-4.: Pañcaviññānasamangissa atthi maggabhāvanā (one may practise the path while he has fivefold consciousness). The conception of Vijñāna of the Mahāsānghikas is a little different from that of the Theravādins and the Sarvāstivādins, specially, in view of two other tenets held by them, viz., "At one and the same moment, two minds (citta) can arise side by side" and "the nature of mind is pure in its origin, etc". Masuda, *op. cit.*, A. 43, B. 3.
