the aggregate of perception is associated with contact. In two ways, the aggregate of perception: there is that which obstructs, there is that which does not obstruct. In three ways, the aggregate of perception: there is that with an internal object, there is that with an external object, there is that with an internal and external object... ... Thus, in ten ways, the aggregate of perception. Expanding in both ways. In seven ways, the aggregate of perception: there is skillful, there is unskillful, there is indeterminate, there is belonging to the sense-sphere, there is belonging to the form-sphere, there is belonging to the formless-sphere, there is not included. Thus, in seven ways, the aggregate of perception. And another, in seven ways, the aggregate of perception: there is associated with pleasant feeling, there is associated with painful feeling, there is associated with neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling, there is belonging to the sense-sphere, there is belonging to the form-sphere, there is belonging to the formless-sphere, there is not included... ... there is that with an internal object, there is that with an external object, there is that with an internal and external object, there is belonging to the sense-sphere, there is belonging to the form-sphere, there is belonging to the formless-sphere, there is not included. Thus, in seven ways, the aggregate of perception. In twenty-four ways, the aggregate of perception: the aggregate of perception conditioned by eye-contact is skillful, is unskillful, is indeterminate; conditioned by ear-contact... ... conditioned by nose-contact... ... conditioned by tongue-contact... ... conditioned by body-contact... ... the aggregate of perception conditioned by mind-contact is skillful, is unskillful, is indeterminate; perception arisen from eye-contact, perception arisen from ear-contact, perception arisen from nose-contact, perception arisen from tongue-contact, perception arisen from body-contact, perception arisen from mind-contact. Thus, in twenty-four ways, the aggregate of perception. And another, in twenty-four ways, the aggregate of perception: the aggregate of perception conditioned by eye-contact is associated with pleasant feeling... ... there is that with an internal object, there is that with an external object, there is that with an internal and external object, perception arisen from eye-contact... ... perception arisen from mind-contact. Ear-contact. Conditioned by eye-contact, conditioned by ear-contact, conditioned by nose-contact, conditioned by tongue-contact, conditioned by body-contact, conditioned by mind-contact, the aggregate of perception exists, associated with pleasant feeling, associated with painful feeling, associated with neutral feeling. There is internal object, there is external object, there is internal and external object. Perception born of eye-contact, perception born of ear-contact, perception born of nose-contact, perception born of tongue-contact, perception born of body-contact, perception born of mind-contact. Thus, the aggregate of perception is of twenty-four kinds. The aggregate of perception is of thirty kinds. Conditioned by eye-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by ear-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by nose-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by tongue-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by body-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by mind-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Perception born of eye-contact, perception born of ear-contact, perception born of nose-contact, perception born of tongue-contact, perception born of body-contact, perception born of mind-contact. Thus, the aggregate of perception is of thirty kinds. The aggregate of perception is of many kinds. Conditioned by eye-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by ear-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by nose-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by tongue-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by body-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Conditioned by mind-contact, the aggregate of perception exists as wholesome, exists as unwholesome, exists as indeterminate, exists as sense-sphere, exists as fine-material sphere, exists as immaterial sphere, exists as unincluded. Perception born of eye-contact, perception born of ear-contact, perception born of nose-contact, perception born of tongue-contact, perception born of body-contact, perception born of mind-contact. Thus, the aggregate of perception is of many kinds. Another way, the aggregate of perception is of many kinds. Conditioned by eye-contact, the aggregate of perception exists, associated with pleasant feeling, associated with painful feeling, associated with neutral feeling. There is internal object, there is external object, there is internal and external object. There exists as sense-sphere, there exists as fine-material sphere, there exists as immaterial sphere, there exists as unincluded. Conditioned by ear-contact, conditioned by nose-contact... Conditioned... conditioned by tongue-contact... conditioned by body-contact... conditioned by mind-contact, the aggregate of perception there is internal object, there is external object, there is internal and external object, there is belonging to the sense-sphere, there is belonging to the form-sphere, there is belonging to the formless-sphere, there is not included, perception born of eye-contact, perception born of ear-contact, perception born of nose-contact, perception born of tongue-contact, perception born of body-contact, perception born of mind-contact. Thus in many ways is the aggregate of perception. This is called the aggregate of perception. 4. The Aggregate of Volitional Formations 92. Therein, what is the aggregate of volitional formations? In one way is the aggregate of volitional formations – associated with consciousness. In two ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – there is root, there is not root. In three ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – there is wholesome, there is unwholesome, there is indeterminate. In four ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – there is belonging to the sense-sphere, there is belonging to the form-sphere, there is belonging to the formless-sphere, there is not included. In five ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – there is associated with the faculty of pleasure, there is associated with the faculty of pain, there is associated with the faculty of joy, there is associated with the faculty of displeasure, there is associated with the faculty of equanimity. Thus in five ways is the aggregate of volitional formations. In six ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – volition born of eye-contact, volition born of ear-contact, volition born of nose-contact, volition born of tongue-contact, volition born of body-contact, volition born of mind-contact. Thus in six ways is the aggregate of volitional formations. In seven ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – volition born of eye-contact, volition born of ear-contact, volition born of nose-contact, volition born of tongue-contact, volition born of body-contact, volition born of mind-element-contact, volition born of mind-consciousness-element-contact. Thus in seven ways is the aggregate of volitional formations. In eight ways is the aggregate of volitional formations – volition born of eye-contact... etc. ... volition born of body-contact, there is accompanied by pleasure there is accompanied by suffering, there is volition born of mind-element contact, there is volition born of mind-consciousness-element contact. Thus, the aggregate of formations is eightfold. The aggregate of formations is ninefold: volition born of eye-contact… …volition born of mind-element contact, volition born of mind-consciousness-element contact there is wholesome, there is unwholesome, there is indeterminate. Thus, the aggregate of formations is ninefold. The aggregate of formations is tenfold: volition born of eye-contact… …volition born of body-contact there is accompanied by pleasure, there is accompanied by suffering, volition born of mind-element contact, volition born of mind-consciousness-element contact there is wholesome, there is unwholesome, there is indeterminate. Thus, the aggregate of formations is tenfold. 93. The aggregate of formations is onefold:
