Starting with absence-condition, There are three twenty-twos. In each of those, making forty-nine less than one – One hundred, forty, And further to that, The questions are counted, based on the twenty-two root conditions. In the twenty-three root conditions, with the first twenty-two, by combining one each in the two conditions of presence and absence, there are two sets of twenty-three. Making forty-nine in each of those – Ninety-eight kinds, the questions are considered counted; In the twenty-third condition, based on the twenty-three root conditions. But the twenty-four root conditions should be understood as the combination of all conditions, therefore it is called the all-root. There are forty-nine questions in that, taking only the root condition term of all conditions, the questions divided in detail by the Teacher in the assembly of gods, based on the one-root etc., up to the all-root, are shown here in brief. But the total count of all of them is this – in the one-root condition, eleven hundred and seventy-six questions arise. In the root condition of cause, forty-nine should be made with that same root and taken in this root condition of cause, the rest should be put in the root conditions of the remaining conditions. In the two-root, eleven hundred and twenty-seven, in the three-root, one thousand and seventy-eight, in the four-root, one thousand and twenty-nine, in the five-root, nine hundred and eighty, in the six-root, nine hundred and thirty-one, in the seven-root, eight hundred and eighty-two, in the eight-root, eight hundred and thirty-three, in the nine-root, seven hundred and eighty-four, in the ten-root, seven hundred and thirty-five, in the eleven-root, six hundred and eighty-six, in the twelve-root, six hundred and thirty-seven, in the thirteen-root, five hundred and eighty-eight, in the fourteen-root, five hundred and thirty-nine, in the fifteen-root, four hundred and ninety, in the sixteen-root, four hundred and forty-one, in the seventeen-root, three hundred and ninety-two, in the eighteen-root, three hundred and forty-three, in the nineteen-root, two hundred and ninety-four, in the twenty-root, two hundred and forty-five, in the twenty-one-root, two hundred and ninety-six. one hundred and forty-seven thousand two hundred, ninety-eight with twenty-three roots, forty-nine with all roots, thus, beginning with the root condition, in the divisions of single-root etc. – Fourteen thousand, and again seven hundred; These are the questions of the root condition, divided into single-root etc. 39-40. Thus, having shown the question divisions from the single-root method beginning with the root condition, up to the all-root method, now, to show beginning with the object condition, it says, "Because of a wholesome state, a wholesome state arises, by way of object condition, by way of root condition," etc. Here, "by way of object condition, by way of root condition," with this much, the single-root method ending with the root condition is shown. After that, "by way of object condition, by way of dominance condition," the two-root method is begun. There, this first two-root and the two-root of non-disappearance of object are shown, and the rest is condensed. "By way of object condition, by way of root condition," this final two-root is also not shown. But if it is found anywhere in the recitation path, that recitation path itself should be taken. After that, without showing the three-root methods etc. based on the object condition, to show the single ones etc. beginning with the dominance condition, only this much is said: "by way of dominance condition, by way of contiguity condition, by way of immediate contiguity condition, by way of conascence condition, by way of mutuality condition," that should be understood as by way of the single-root or by way of the all-root. 41. After that, to show only the two-root method beginning with the non-disappearance condition – "by way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition," etc., is begun. There, the two-root of non-disappearance of root, the two-root of non-disappearance of object, the two-root of non-disappearance of dominance, thus, three two-roots are stated in order, and at the end, one two-root, the two-root of non-disappearance and disappearance, is shown. Then, to show the three-root method based on the non-disappearance condition – "by way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of object condition, by way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of dominance condition, by way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of contiguity condition," thus, three three-roots in order. Having said this, the concluding triad is stated: "By way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of disappearance condition." Then, to show the four-rootedness only by way of non-disappearance condition, two tetrads are stated: "By way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of object condition, by way of dominance condition; by way of non-disappearance condition, by way of root condition, by way of object condition, by way of contiguity condition." Having extracted and placed the word "disappearance condition," all the rest is condensed. To show that condensation, it is said: "For each word, one-rooted, two-rooted, three-rooted, all-rooted, should be expanded without confusion." Therefore, just as, beginning with root condition, by way of root-etcetera words, in the one-rooted there are eleven hundred seventy-six questions... ...in the all-rooted there are forty-nine, so too, beginning with each of object condition, etcetera, by way of object-etcetera words, in the one-rooted of each word there are eleven hundred seventy-six questions... ...in the all-rooted there are forty-nine, thus in the one-rooted-etcetera divisions of each word, there are fourteen thousand seven hundred questions. In all those twenty-four conditions, this is the calculation limit: Three hundred fifty-two thousand eight hundred, Questions of the wholesome triad, well-divided in the direct method. And just as for the wholesome triad, so too for the feeling triad, etcetera, in all twenty-two triads: One hundred sixty-one thousand, six hundred seventy-seven, Hundreds of thousands of questions, in the triad division, by distinction. A concise reading method. In the dyads, however, "Depending on a root phenomenon, may a root phenomenon arise, by way of root condition?" thus, depending on root, root; depending on root, non-root; depending on root, both root and non-root; depending on non-root, non-root; depending on non-root, root; depending on non-root, both root and non-root; depending on both root and non-root, root; depending on both root and non-root, non-root; depending on both root and non-root, both root and non-root, in each one... In the dyads, with root condition and so on, there are nine questions for each condition. Among them, beginning with root condition, there are two hundred and sixteen questions in the single-root. Among them, only the nine questions of root condition alone, unmixed with others, should be taken, the remaining eight being taken in turn. From the two-root onwards, removing one set of nine in each of the twenty-three turns, until all roots, this is the limit of calculation: In the two-root, from the two hundred and sixteen questions shown in the single-root, removing nine, there are two hundred and seven questions. Then, removing nine, in the three-root, ninety-eight. Thus, removing nine each from the preceding, in the four-root, eighty-nine. In the five-root, eighty. In the six-root, seventy-one. In the seven-root, sixty-two. In the eight-root, fifty-three. In the nine-root, forty-four. In the ten-root, thirty-five. In the eleven-root, twenty-six. In the twelve-root, seventeen. In the thirteen-root, eight. In the fourteen-root, ninety-nine. In the fifteen-root, ninety. In the sixteen-root, eighty-one. In the seventeen-root, seventy-two. In the eighteen-root, sixty-three. In the nineteen-root, fifty-four. In the twenty-root, forty-five. In the twenty-one-root, thirty-six. In the twenty-two-root, twenty-seven. In the twenty-three-root, eighteen. In all roots, nine. Just as these two hundred and sixteen questions in the single-root based on root condition… …and nine in all roots, so too, beginning with each of the object condition and so on, based on each condition, two hundred and sixteen questions in the single-root… …and nine in all roots, in the single-root and so on for each condition, there are two thousand seven hundred questions. Among all of these twenty-four conditions, this is the limit of calculation: Sixty-four thousand, And again eight hundred; Questions of the root dyad alone, Considered in the progressive method. And just as the root dyad... Thus, even for the dyads with causes and so on, in all one hundred dyads – Sixty million, Four hundred thousand more, And eighty thousand, Are the questions in one hundred dyads, the wise know. This is, firstly, the numerical limit of the questions in the pure Trika-paṭṭhāna and Duka-paṭṭhāna. But that which is taught afterwards, taking twenty-two triads and placing them in one hundred dyads, called Duka-tika-paṭṭhāna, there, "Conditioned by a root, a wholesome dhamma might arise, a root and wholesome dhamma arises due to the root condition," thus, the limit of the questions to be shown by combining each of the twenty-two triads with each of the one hundred dyads, should be understood by taking all of them according to the method stated below, based on having a single root and so on.
