[219] "Venerable sir, when one cultivates what kind of acquisition of individuality (attabhāvapaṭilābha) do unwholesome dhammas increase and wholesome dhammas decline? Venerable sir, for one who generates an afflictive (sabyāpajjha) acquisition of individuality, because of its unperfected state, unwholesome dhammas increase and wholesome dhammas decline."
