Suddhasaṅkhāravāra

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 1143

[1143] For whomever the verbal formation (vacīsaṅkhāra) ceases, had that one's mental formation (cittasaṅkhāra) ceased? Yes. Or, for whomever the mental formation had ceased, does that one's verbal formation cease? For all [beings] at the moment of the arising (uppādakkhaṇa) of mind (citta); at the moment of the dissolution (bhaṅgakkhaṇa) of a mind devoid of thought-conception (vitakka) and discursive thought (vicāra); for those attained to cessation (nirodhasamāpanna); and for non-percipient beings (asaññasattā): their mental formation had ceased, but their verbal formation does not cease. At the moment of the dissolution of thought-conception and discursive thought, their mental formation had ceased, and their verbal formation ceases.
