Function of Javana
When we see, hear, smell, taste, experience an object through the body-
sense or through the mind-door, there is not only one citta experiencing the
object through the appropriate doorway, but a series or process of cittas.
A rupa which impinges on one of the senses is experienced by a series of
cittas. When that sense-door process is over, the object is experienced by
cittas through the mind-door. Sense-door processes and mind-door processes
arise and fall away continuously.
This series or process of cittas which arise through the sense door process or the mind door process are called javana cittas.
