The reason for making viññāṇa an independent link is that saṅkhārā can be the paccaya (i.e. kamma and upanissaya) of viññāṇa only¹ and not of the other three khandhas or of rūpa. The paṭisandhiviññāṇa is of nineteen kinds.² Viññāṇas, which follow the paṭisandhicitta and cuticitta, are the five perceptions derived through the five sense-organs. Besides these five, there is the mano-viññāṇa which may be sub-divided into thirty-two kinds.³
