[595] [The eight path factors] may be wholesome; may be indeterminate. Right thought (sammāsaṅkappa) is associated with pleasant feeling (vedanā); the seven path factors may be associated with pleasant feeling; may be associated with neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. They may be resultants; may be phenomena that have results as their nature. They are not clung-to and not conducive to clinging. They are undefiled and not conducive to defilement. Right thought is without thought-conception, merely with discursive thought; the seven path factors may be with thought-conception and with discursive thought; may be without thought-conception, merely with discursive thought; may be without thought-conception and without discursive thought. Right thought is accompanied by rapture, accompanied by pleasure, not accompanied by equanimity; the seven path factors may be accompanied by rapture; may be accompanied by pleasure; may be accompanied by equanimity. They are to be abandoned neither by seeing nor by mental development; they do not have roots to be abandoned either by seeing or by mental development. They may be leading to dispersal; may be neither leading to accumulation nor leading to dispersal. They may be of the trainee; may be of one beyond training. They are immeasurable. They have immeasurable objects. They are superior. They may be fixed in rightness; may be unfixed. They do not have the path as object; they may have the path as root; may have the path as predominant factor; may be such that they should not be said either to have the path as root or to have the path as predominant factor. They may be arisen; may be unarisen; may be bound to arise. They may be past; may be future; may be present. They should not be said to have a past object, a future object, or a present object. They may be internal; may be external; may be both internal and external. They have external objects. They are invisible and non-impinging.
