The Sautrantika point of view on this matter is different.

This applies to the third olfactory consciousness that perceives various odors. These are perceived on dependence upon a nose sense-power. The tongue sense-power, allows various tastes to be perceived by a fourth tongue consciousness. Fifth, various tangible objects (some smooth, some rough, some painful and so forth) are experienced by the body consciousness because of the body sense-power. It is said that the consciousnesses operate by way of the five doors with the five doors being the five sensory organs.

East and west are just designated or imputed by our mind. In this way, all these sorts of phenomena turn out to be mere conceptual formulations.

" If we were to consider a particular example of a "solid" object such as our hand, we see it and other people see it.
