[1099] For whomever, and wherever, the bodily formation (kāyasaṅkhāra) does not arise — will the verbal formation (vacīsaṅkhāra) not arise for that one there? For those who have attained the first jhāna and for beings of the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), at the moment of dissolution (bhaṅgakkhaṇa) of the in-breaths and out-breaths (assāsapassāsa); for those same beings, at the moment of arising (uppādakkhaṇa) of a mind (citta) without in-breaths and out-breaths; and for beings of the form sphere (rūpāvacara) and the formless sphere (arūpāvacara) — for them, there, the bodily formation does not arise, yet it is not the case that the verbal formation will not arise for them there. For those possessed of the final mind (pacchimacitta); for those immediately after whose mind a final mind devoid of thought-conception and discursive thought (avitakka-avicāra) will arise; for those who have attained the second jhāna or the third jhāna, at the moment of dissolution of the in-breaths and out-breaths; for those same beings, at the moment of arising of a mind without in-breaths and out-breaths; for those who have attained the fourth jhāna; and for non-percipient beings (asaññasatta) — for them, there, the bodily formation does not arise and the verbal formation will not arise. Or rather: for whomever, and wherever, the verbal formation will not arise — does the bodily formation not arise for that one there? For those who have attained the second jhāna or the third jhāna, at the moment of arising of the in-breaths and out-breaths — for them, there, the verbal formation will not arise, yet it is not the case that the bodily formation does not arise for them there. For those possessed of the final mind; for those immediately after whose mind a final mind devoid of thought-conception and discursive thought will arise; for those who have attained the second jhāna or the third jhāna, at the moment of dissolution of the in-breaths and out-breaths; for those same beings, at the moment of arising of a mind without in-breaths and out-breaths; for those who have attained the fourth jhāna; and for non-percipient beings — for them, there, the verbal formation will not arise and the bodily formation does not arise.
