Footnote 410:

The vijñânaskandha comprises vijñânas of two different kinds, the âlayavijñâna and the pravrittivijñâna. The âlayavijñâna comprises the series of cognitions or ideas which refer to the ego; the pravrittivijñâna comprises those ideas which refer to apparently external objects, such as colour and the like. The ideas of the latter class are due to the mental impressions left by the antecedent ideas of the former class.
