[806] Which phenomena (dhammā) are both defilements (kilesa) and objects of defilement (saṅkilesika)? Those same defilements are both defilements and objects of defilement. Which phenomena are objects of defilement but not defilements? Whatever phenomena are objects of defilement by those [defilement] phenomena — setting those phenomena aside — the remaining phenomena subject to taints (sāsava), wholesome (kusala), unwholesome (akusala), and indeterminate (abyākata), belonging to the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), the form sphere (rūpāvacara), and the formless sphere (arūpāvacara): the form aggregate (rūpakkhandha) … the consciousness aggregate (viññāṇakkhandha) — these phenomena are objects of defilement but not defilements.
