[758] Which phenomena (dhammā) are both hindrances (nīvaraṇa) and favorable to the hindrances (nīvaraṇiya)?
Those very hindrances are both hindrances and favorable to the hindrances.
Which phenomena are favorable to the hindrances but not hindrances?
Whatever phenomena are favorable to the hindrances through those [hindrance‑]phenomena — setting those [hindrance‑]phenomena aside — the remaining wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate phenomena accompanied by taints (sāsava), belonging to the sense sphere, the form sphere, and the formless sphere: the aggregate of form (rūpakkhandha) … the aggregate of consciousness (viññāṇakkhandha) — these phenomena are favorable to the hindrances but not hindrances.
