What is the dominant condition (adhipati-pratyaya) of each consciousness?

The dominant condition (adhipati-pratyaya) of the six consciousnesses is the manas; the dominant condition of the manas is the tathāgatagarbha. It is the tathāgatagarbha that directly gives rise to and sustains the manas, so that the manas can exist and operate continuously. The tathāgatagarbha directly gives rise to all dharmas, and the dominant condition of all dharmas is likewise the tathāgatagarbha; without the tathāgatagarbha, there would be no existence or operation of any dharma. However, the tathāgatagarbha must rely on the manas in order to function, to give rise to all dharmas, and to manifest its operation and modes of activity. Therefore, the manas is the dominant condition for the tathāgatagarbha's operation of the various dharmas, but not the dominant condition for the arising of the tathāgatagarbha, because the tathāgatagarbha inherently exists and need not be brought into being; moreover, the manas cannot give rise to the tathāgatagarbha.
