” By way of co-arisen nutriment and faculties means by way of co-arisen formless nutriment and faculties. 546.That the single root and single ending are obtained by way of immediate and natural proximity is said in an appropriate manner, and that should be shown by way of rejection and non-rejection as appropriate, thus “in the presence of a condition” and so on is said. In the former means not in the object and so on. Nine means the nine with a single root and single ending. Only two means these two: “wholesome phenomena for unconditioned phenomena, unwholesome phenomena for unconditioned phenomena.” The explanation of the negative is finished. The explanation of the affirmative-negative 550.By these means, by “wholesome for wholesome, unwholesome for unwholesome,” they are similar in the generality of being wholesome and so on. Therefore, it is said, “but they are not analogous due to the absence of meaning.” Even though there is generality in the designation by “wholesome for wholesome” and so on, there might be a distinction in the analysis for the most part, so it says, “and by designation as appropriate.” 551.The name of the root means the root and that name. The condition means that very thing with reference to its being a condition, this is the connection. 552.Of both dominants means by way of co-arisen and object dominants, this should be understood in the manner stated in the commentary by “wholesome for wholesome by way of co-arisen and by way of object” and so on. Seven in the object is said by way of the co-arisen dominant, not in the co-arisen. “Attā” is said in the sense of predominance of the object. This is the connection. Thus, as said in “predominance,” so in all all conditions. Having said, “In this and that… …should be extracted,” showing the ease and the method of that numerical extraction, he says, “In the direct order… …to be known.” The explanation of direct-reverse order is finished. Explanation of reverse-direct order 631. By the calculation of reduction: The meaning is that it is not necessarily a lesser number, as equality and the absence of a lesser number are also possible. Therefore, he says, “Of the not-cause and not-object pair,” and so on. There, the connection is: “even though reduced by the predominance condition, which has a lesser number when combined.” Or, “even though combined and reduced.” In this case, “by the predominance condition” is the instrumental case denoting a characteristic. This is the characteristic. Not-standing: From the direct order, not-standing, not-abiding. “They stand” is connected with “from the direct order.” Of these: Of the causes, and so on. In the others: To show which ones are intended, “predominance,” and so on, is said. These two: “Wholesome and indeterminate for the indeterminate, unwholesome and indeterminate for the indeterminate”— these two. The explanation of not-cause-root is finished. 636. By the three mentioned in cause: Together with the three answers stated in the cause condition. The meaning is that it speaks only of the commonality of turns, not the commonality of meaning. Similarly, “three in action” means “just those stated in cause.” And also, in the phrase “three in action,” even in this statement of meaning, “just those stated in cause,” the meaning is that it speaks similarly, referring only to the commonality of turns. 644. Each one: Each single answer. 650. In its own place: In the place where it itself stands. Other than that: Other than that unseized condition, from the reverse. “Not in nutriment… …there is gain”: The meaning is that, by connecting the faculty condition from the reverse in the nutriment condition, and the nutriment condition from the direct order when the faculty condition is in the reverse from the direct order, the problem is obtained. In these: In nutriment and faculty. Divided in two, from the reverse and from the direct order, which by the nature of being abandoned. The description of the opposing and conforming is finished. The description of the Kusalattika is finished. 2. Description of the Vedanāttika 1. In the Vedanāttika, the determination of dependent origination and so on, in relation to the terms of the triad, which should be stated in the dependent origination and so on, does not apply to feelings, material form, and Nibbāna, as they are beyond the scope of the triad. Why? Because they are outside the triad. Similarly, the statement of resultant conditions. For it is not possible to say, referring to feeling, material form, and Nibbāna, "Dependent on a phenomenon associated with pleasant feeling, a phenomenon associated with pleasant feeling arises." "Of the phenomena of the triad" refers to the phenomena of the Vedanāttika. "Therein" refers to the conditions of root cause and so on. "According to suitability" means according to what is suitable for each, as a condition of object and so on, for a phenomenon associated with feeling. "Object and so on" includes, by the word "and so on," object, dominant object, proximate object, and so on. 10. "Even in the Kusalattika, they are abandoned"—this is stated with reference to the opposing. "Because it encompasses both material and immaterial phenomena"—this is the reason for placing the co-arisen, which is not a beginning, at the beginning. "By the word 'and so on'" means by the word "and so on" in "co-arisen and so on." "All immaterial phenomena, arising by apprehending appropriately, are resultant conditions of object and so on"—this is stated as "of object and so on, which encompass all immaterial phenomena as resultant conditions." "By the word 'and so on'" includes object, dominant object, proximate object, and so on. "Therefore" means by the statement "but those that encompass all immaterial phenomena." "Of all positions…pe… is shown by the showing of the co-arisen"—this is the meaning. For by showing the abandonment of a part, the abandonment of the whole is shown. Or, by the word "and so on" in "co-arisen and so on," all four positions are shown. "Rooted in co-arisen" means those that arise when there is a co-arisen condition, but they are not presented in the Pāli text by making the co-arisen primary. Therefore, it says, "dependent on co-arisen…pe… is stated." The connection is, "Why then is that post-arisen not abandoned?" "Therein" refers to the aforementioned abandonment. decline and non-decline. By “connected by co-arising” it is said here that it is caused by co-arising phenomena, by their conditions. “Only this much” means only decline. For that is what is emphasized here. When it is said “the decline of those connected by co-arising,” to prevent the doubt “is it the decline of all of them?” it is said “connected by co-arising… and so on… this has been shown.” 17.It only shows the method of understanding: just as it is possible to say “not by root-condition, not by kamma-condition” with reference to rootless functional consciousness, so too it is possible to say “not by result-condition.” But with reference to rootless delusion, it is possible to say “not by root-condition, not by result-condition,” but not “not by kamma-condition.” Therefore, it is said “and not a general showing of conditions and conditioned phenomena,” and so on. 25-37.Just as with the wholesome triad, so too it should be counted: this is said to show what the Pāḷi refers to when it is stated “of those rooted in conditions… and so on… not a general counting.” For the counts in the direct and reverse order of the wholesome triad are not the same as those in the feeling triad. “Arranged by permutation” here means that some say that after first stating “not by root-condition, not by pre-nascent condition, one in object,” the pre-nascent condition, which should have been stated later, was stated first by permutation. Similarly, some say that by permuting the phrase “not by root-condition, three in kamma,” it is said “not by kamma-condition, three in root.” 39.“Connected with that” means connected with that displeasure. The phenomena connected with displeasure are stated under the heading of displeasure. “In the five faiths” refers to faith, virtue, learning, generosity, and wisdom. “Should be done” or “the construction should be done” is the meaning. “In the remaining ones” refers to greed and so on. “For showing the Pāḷi’s course” means for showing “thus the Pāḷi proceeds,” for showing the Pāḷi’s progression. By greed and so on, which are strong supporting conditions. “Does not arise” means because it does not arise. Showing that Pāḷi’s course by the Pāḷi of the triad-interval, he says “even in the wholesome triad,” and so on. “Here too” means even in this feeling triad. 62.“Non-difference” means non-distinction. For a phenomenon connected with pleasant feeling is connected with pleasant feeling. of that very dhamma, by way of condition, not of others. This method applies to the remaining sections and to other places where "three" is mentioned. Therefore it is said: "All three should be understood by way of the three pure terms." "Post-natal dhammas are not conditions for formless dhammas" — this is correct. But how is it to be understood that pre-natal dhammas are not conditions for formless dhammas? Addressing this question, it is said: "pre-natal," etc., meaning, they are not conditions by being pre-natal. For form dhammas, having arisen earlier and remaining, are pre-natal conditions for formless dhammas that arise later. But this method is not found in formless dhammas. Therefore it is said: "due to the absence of pre-natality." Similarly, "due to the absence of post-natality." Just as in this triad, it is said that due to the absence of pre-natality for any dhamma, pre-natal conditions do not arise, similarly, due to the absence of post-natality, they are not conditions by being post-natal, meaning, post-natal conditions do not arise. For in one continuum, when some formless dhammas have arisen earlier and remain,
