[962] Which phenomena (dhammā) are defilements (kilesā)? The ten bases of defilement (kilesavatthu): greed (lobha), hatred (dosa), delusion (moha), conceit (māna), view (diṭṭhi), doubt (vicikicchā), dullness (thīna), restlessness (uddhacca), shamelessness (ahirika), and lack of moral dread (anottappa). Greed arises in the eight arisings of mind (cittuppāda) accompanied by greed. Hatred arises in the two arisings of mind accompanied by grief (domanassa). Delusion arises in all unwholesome (akusala) states. Conceit arises in the four arisings of mind dissociated from view and accompanied by greed. View arises in the four arisings of mind associated with view. Doubt arises in the arisings of mind accompanied by doubt. Dullness arises in the prompted (sasaṅkhārika) unwholesome states. Restlessness, shamelessness, and lack of moral dread arise in all unwholesome states. These phenomena are defilements. Which phenomena are not defilements? Setting aside the defilements, the remaining unwholesome states; the wholesome (kusala) on the four planes (bhūmi); the resultant (vipāka) on the four planes; the functional indeterminate (kiriyābyākata) on the three planes; and form (rūpa) and Nibbāna — these phenomena are not defilements.
