[399] Which phenomena (dhammā) are indeterminate (abyākata)?
On the occasion when one develops jhāna of the formless sphere (arūpāvacara) that is functional (kiriya) — neither wholesome nor unwholesome, and not the result of kamma (kammavipāka), but a pleasant abiding in the present life (diṭṭhadhammasukhavihāra) — [and] when, having completely transcended the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana), [that jhāna being] accompanied by the perception of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatanasaññā), with the abandoning of pleasure … one enters and dwells in the fourth jhāna: on that occasion, with volitional formations as condition, consciousness; with consciousness as condition, name (nāma); with name as condition, the sixth sense base (chaṭṭhāyatana); with the sixth sense base as condition, contact (phassa); with contact as condition, feeling (vedanā); with feeling as condition, confidence (pasāda); with confidence as condition, resolution (adhimokkha); with resolution as condition, existence (bhava); with existence as condition, birth (jāti); with birth as condition, aging and death (jarāmaraṇa). Thus is the origin of this whole mass of suffering (dukkha).
