[519] For affluent khattiyas (khattiyamahāsālā), affluent brahmins (brāhmaṇamahāsālā), affluent householders (gahapatimahāsālā), and devas of the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), in the case [of rebirth-linking] associated with knowledge (ñāṇa), through the conditionality of which eight causes (hetu) does rebirth (upapatti) come about?
At the moment of impulsion (javana) of wholesome action (kusala-kamma), three wholesome causes are connascence conditions (sahajāta-paccaya) for the volition (cetanā) arisen at that moment; therefore it is said: with wholesome roots as condition, too, there are volitional formations (saṅkhārā). At the moment of delight (nikanti), two unwholesome causes are connascence conditions for the volition arisen at that moment; therefore it is said: with unwholesome roots as condition, too, there are volitional formations. At the moment of rebirth-linking (paṭisandhi), three indeterminate (abyākata) causes are connascence conditions for the volition arisen at that moment; therefore it is said: with name-and-form (nāmarūpa) as condition, too, there is consciousness; with consciousness as condition, too, there is name-and-form.
At the moment of rebirth-linking, the five aggregates (khandha) are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions (aññamañña-paccaya), are dependence conditions (nissaya-paccaya), are dissociation conditions (vippayutta-paccaya). At the moment of rebirth-linking, the four primary elements (mahābhūta) are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, the three life-formations (jīvitasaṅkhārā) are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are dissociation conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, name and form are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are dissociation conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, these fourteen dhammas are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are dissociation conditions.
At the moment of rebirth-linking, the four immaterial aggregates are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are association conditions (sampayutta-paccaya). At the moment of rebirth-linking, the five faculties (indriya) are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are association conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, three causes are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are association conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, name and consciousness are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are association conditions. At the moment of rebirth-linking, these fourteen dhammas are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are association conditions.
At the moment of rebirth-linking, these twenty-eight dhammas are connascence conditions, are mutuality conditions, are dependence conditions, are dissociation conditions. For affluent khattiyas, affluent brahmins, affluent householders, and devas of the sense sphere, in the case [of rebirth-linking] associated with knowledge, rebirth comes about through the conditionality of these eight causes.
