[972] Which phenomena (dhammā) have roots to be abandoned by seeing (dassana)?
The four arisings of mind (cittuppāda) associated with views (diṭṭhigata) and the arising of mind accompanied by doubt (vicikicchā) — setting aside the delusion (moha) arisen therein — these phenomena have roots to be abandoned by seeing.
The four arisings of mind accompanied by greed (lobha) dissociated from views, and the two arisings of mind accompanied by grief (domanassa) — these phenomena may have roots to be abandoned by seeing, or may not have roots to be abandoned by seeing.
Which phenomena do not have roots to be abandoned by seeing?
The delusion accompanied by doubt; the arising of mind accompanied by restlessness (uddhacca); the wholesome 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 do not have roots to be abandoned by seeing.
