I understand now. Upon reflection, I realize that my mistake was in thinking that the diagram depicted the sequence from tanha paccaya upadana to kamacchanda as occurring within a single citta vithi. However, I have come to understand that in this context, kamacchanda is describing what arises from upadana, rather than suggesting that the mano sankhara following the 4 cittas in bahidda vinnana possesses the javana power to cause kamacchanda. Is this correct?
