[886] Which phenomena (dhammā) have roots (hetu) to be abandoned by seeing (dassana)? The four arisings of mind (cittuppāda) associated with wrong view (diṭṭhigata) and the arising of mind accompanied by doubt (vicikicchā) — setting aside the delusion (moha) that has arisen here — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by seeing. Which phenomena have roots to be abandoned by development (bhāvanā)? The arising of mind accompanied by restlessness (uddhacca) — setting aside the delusion that has arisen here — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by development. The four arisings of mind dissociated from wrong view and accompanied by greed (lobha), and the two arisings of mind accompanied by grief (domanassa): these phenomena may have roots to be abandoned by seeing; they may have roots to be abandoned by development. Which phenomena have neither roots to be abandoned by seeing nor roots to be abandoned by development? The delusion accompanied by doubt; the delusion accompanied by restlessness; the wholesome (kusala) in the four planes (bhūmi); the resultant (vipāka) in the four planes; the functional indeterminate (kiriyābyākata) in the three planes; and form (rūpa) and Nibbāna — these phenomena have neither roots to be abandoned by seeing nor roots to be abandoned by development.
