excluding one, two, or three (constituents); and likewise formless, Pure Abodes, Brahma realms, and woeful states. 242.

These eighteen are also found, and also nine, and again one; fourfold, threefold, and onefold, by division. 244. And these thirteen portions are found in one, three realms; six, seven, eleven, seven. -minds in the plane of sense-desire. 245.

Functional, impulsion, great resultant, supramundane, exalted; Fifty-two are not found in the four planes of misery. 248. Among the sense-sphere deities, in the six, and among humans; In the happy sense-sphere, the nine exalted resultants are not. 249. Minds rooted in hatred, great resultants, the three of nose, etc.; And formless resultants are not, twenty in the form plane. 250. Five with doubt and wrong view, four kinds of formless resultants; And five supramundane are not found in the Pure Abodes. 251. The initial advertings and paths, minds of aversion and formless; Sense-sphere resultants, and pure formless, those forty-three are not. 252. Thirty-seven limited ones are found in the plane of misery; Eighty minds are found in the happy sense-sphere. 253. Sixty-nine in the form plane, fifty-five in the Pure Abodes; Forty-six in the formless, nothing at all in the non-percipient. 254. Thus, sixteen in the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth planes; Ten, then fifteen, then thirty-four, fourteen. 255. For those in the planes of misery and the rootless, excluding the great resultant and functional impulsion; The remaining limited minds are found. 256. For those with two roots and the rootless, the remaining sense-sphere minds; Are found, excluding the knowledge-resultant and functional impulsion. 257. For beings with three roots, in whatever rebirth; For those reborn there, those that are found, are found. 258. All minds for beings with three roots, for beings in the planes of misery; For the remaining thirty-seven, forty-one are declared. 259. For ordinary people and trainees, functional impulsions do not exist; For those free from passion, wholesome and unwholesome do not exist at all. 260. Five minds with doubt and wrong view do not exist for trainees; And the two rooted in hatred do not exist for non-returners. 261. Only among the established noble ones, each according to their own supramundane; For those on the path, their own path, not other. Whatever in every way. 262. For two ordinary people, and for those established in fruits, in due order; For the third one established in fruit, and for the fourth, there is arising. 263. Sixty-three consciousnesses are obtained, and fifty-nine; Fifty-seven consciousnesses, and fifty-three in every way. 264. Fifty-four, fifty, lacking two fifties; Among sense-desires, for them arise forty-four in due course. 265. Forty-three, and thirty-nine in due order; Thirty-nine arise, and thirty-five in the fine-material realms. 266. Twenty-seven, and twenty-three, and twenty-three in due order; In the immaterial realms too are obtained, and for them eighteen. 267. And four ordinary people, starting with those in woeful states without roots; And eight noble ones, thus there are twelve according to their power. 268. Six kinds of consciousness divisions, and also for one person; For four, five, six, seven, eight persons, in due course. 269. Twenty-six, and fourteen, then thirteen, and two mental states; Ten with seven more, and again ten with seven more. Thus, in the division of consciousness, the discourse on the arising of consciousness in realms and persons is concluded. Sixth Chapter. Seventh Chapter 7. Discourse on the Arising of Realms and Persons 270. For those with two roots and those without roots, absorption does not arise; And there is no Arahantship, thus there is no impulsion activity. 271. Knowledge-fruits do not occur, due to the dullness of the root connection; For those with two roots, that object may or may not be in a good destination. 272. For beings with three roots, both tranquility and insight; For those developing them, all twenty-six absorptions occur. 273. For Arahant beings, impulsion activities arise; And knowledge-fruits are obtained according to the rule of the realm. 274. Those to be avoided by the first path, however, are endowed with doubt and wrong view; And aversion by the third (path), with defiled karma at the end. 275. Therefore, those consciousnesses do not occur for them in any way; But for those established in the path, only the path, nothing else whatsoever arises. 276. Rootless resultant consciousnesses, when obtained in the process; And in every way for all, they arise as appropriate. Haṃ. 277. At the five doors and the mind door, there are always two kinds of advertence; Slight merits and demerits, are obtained due to quick occurrence. 278. Functional impulsion and absorption, are not causes in woeful states; There are no resultant wholesome states, for the connection is with suffering. 279. Brahmās have no aversion, nor is it suppressed by jhāna; Those in formless realms do not cultivate, lower jhānas, being dispassionate. 280. Those noble ones in formless realms, have already seen the truth before; Therefore, the initial path is not here, nor is there a body or a smile. 281. Those in Pure Abodes have also attained, the five lower and higher states; They have abandoned the seven evils, therefore, these are not found there. 282. Five-door consciousnesses, do not exist in the absence of doors; Resultant wholesome states, are established according to their planes. 283. Thus knowing the possibility and impossibility, in individuals and planes; One should describe the collection of consciousnesses, according to what is obtainable there. 284. Divided by wholesome and so on, and by planes and so on; By base, door, and object, and by plane and individual. 285. The division that has been described, of the possibilities of consciousnesses; Should also be known for mental factors, according to their association. Thus ends the discourse on the possibility of planes and individuals in the division of consciousness. The Seventh Chapter. And the division of consciousness is completed. The Eighth Chapter 2. Division of Mental Factors 8. Discourse on the Association of Mental Factors 286. Thus having known the method of consciousness, by one who discerns the fifty-two; How should the mental factors, born in the mind, be known? 287. Contact and feeling, perception, volition and one-pointedness; Life-faculty and attention, these seven are universal. 288. Initial application and sustained application, joy and energy; Desire and decision, these six are called occasional. 289. In merits and demerits, and in functional states as appropriate; The occasional mental factors, occur in mental states, being scattered. 290. Faith and the faculty of mindfulness, the two powers of shame and fear of wrongdoing; Non-greed and non-aversion, and wisdom and equanimity. 291. These eight are called excellent, qualities that lead to excellence; Blameless are said to be, and six pairs after that. 292. Tranquility of body and mind, lightness and pliancy likewise; Adaptability and proficiency, and uprightness too. 293. The two immeasurables are compassion and appreciative joy; Right speech, right action, and right livelihood are the three abstinences. 294. These twenty-five are faultless, as is fitting; They arise in the faultless states, free from evil and rootless. 295. Greed, hatred, and delusion, Conceit, wrong view, and doubt; Sloth and torpor, and restlessness, And remorse, thus ten. 296. Shamelessness and fearlessness of wrongdoing, Envy and stinginess too; These fourteen are blameworthy, arising only in blameworthy states. 297. Thus fifty-two or fourteen, these mental states are established; Now I shall explain their association and compilation. 298. Seven are common, common to all consciousness; With consciousness, there is never a disassociation of the eight. 299. Initial application is absent in the five-sense consciousnesses and the second (jhana) onwards; Sustained application is also absent there, in the third (jhana) onwards. 300. Joy is present in those accompanied by gladness, except for the fourth jhana; Energy is absent in the first turning-to, resultant, and rootless states. 301. Intention arises everywhere, except in the utterly deluded and rootless states; Decision is absent in doubt and the five-sense consciousnesses. 302. Sixty-six, fifty-five, seventy, and sixteen; Twenty and eleven, are then free from miscellaneous factors. 303. Fifty-five are mental, sixty-six with initial application; Fifty-one with sustained application, and likewise with joy. 304. Seventy-three with energy, sixty-nine with intention; Seventy-eight mental states are said to have decision. 305. Excluding wisdom, the immeasurables, and the abstinences, in the fifty-nine; Faith is nineteen, in those free from evil and rootless. 306. In brief, in those free from two-rooted and rootless evil states; Wisdom arises in all forty-seven. 307. The immeasurables arise in twenty-eight, in great functional, sense-sphere wholesome, and fine-material jhanas, excluding the fifth jhana. 308. In all supramundane states, the three abstinences arise together. in wholesome states they arise, each one distinct as it comes to be. 309. In abstinences and immeasurables, in all five, as is fitting; sometimes indeed they arise, each one alone, and not together. 310. Shamelessness and fearlessness of wrong, delusion and restlessness too; are called common to unwholesome states,
