[71] The aggregate of volitional formations (saṅkhārakkhandha) is twenty-fourfold: The aggregate of volitional formations with eye-contact as condition (cakkhusamphassapaccayā): there is that which is wholesome (kusala), there is that which is unwholesome (akusala), there is that which is indeterminate (abyākata). With ear-contact as condition … with nose-contact as condition … with tongue-contact as condition … with body-contact as condition … with mind-contact as condition, the aggregate of volitional formations: there is that which is wholesome, there is that which is unwholesome, there is that which is indeterminate. Volition (cetanā) born of eye-contact … volition born of mind-contact. Thus the aggregate of volitional formations is twenty-fourfold. In yet another way the aggregate of volitional formations is twenty-fourfold: The aggregate of volitional formations with eye-contact as condition: there is that which is associated with pleasant feeling (sukhā vedanā), there is that which is associated with painful feeling, there is that which is associated with neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling … there is that which has an internal object (ajjhattārammaṇa), there is that which has an external object (bahiddhārammaṇa), there is that which has both an internal and an external object (ajjhattabahiddhārammaṇa). With ear-contact as condition … with nose-contact as condition … with tongue-contact as condition … with body-contact as condition … with mind-contact as condition, the aggregate of volitional formations: there is that which has an internal object, there is that which has an external object, there is that which has both an internal and an external object. Volition born of eye-contact … volition born of mind-contact. Thus the aggregate of volitional formations is twenty-fourfold.
