[567] "Good, venerable sir," … he asked a further question: "But, venerable sir, when a bhikkhu is emerging from the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodhasamāpatti), which dhammas arise first: the bodily formation (kāyasaṅkhāra), the verbal formation (vacīsaṅkhāra), or the mental formation (cittasaṅkhāra)?" "Householder (gahapati), when a bhikkhu is emerging from the attainment of the cessation of perception and feeling, the mental formation arises first; after that the bodily formation; after that the verbal formation."
