[12] Whatever phenomena (dhammā) are unwholesome (akusala), do all those have the unwholesome as their root (akusalamūlaka)?
The unwholesome that is rootless (ahetuka) does not have the unwholesome as its root; the unwholesome that is with roots (sahetuka) has the unwholesome as its root.
Or rather, whatever [phenomena] have the unwholesome as their root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Form (rūpa) originated by the unwholesome (akusalasamuṭṭhāna) has the unwholesome as its root but is not unwholesome; the unwholesome both has the unwholesome as its root and is unwholesome.
Whatever phenomena are unwholesome, do all those have one root in common with the unwholesome root (akusalamūlena ekamūlaka)?
The unwholesome that is rootless does not have one root in common with the unwholesome root; the unwholesome that is with roots has one root in common with the unwholesome root.
Or rather, whatever [phenomena] have one root in common with the unwholesome root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Form originated by the unwholesome has one root in common with the unwholesome root but is not unwholesome; the unwholesome both has one root in common with the unwholesome root and is unwholesome.
Whatever phenomena have one root in common with the unwholesome root, are all those mutually rooted with the unwholesome root (akusalamūlena aññamaññamūlaka)?
Those roots that arise together as unwholesome roots both have one root in common and are mutually rooted; the remaining phenomena conascent with the unwholesome root (akusalamūlasahajāta) have one root in common with the unwholesome root but are not mutually rooted.
Or rather, whatever [phenomena] are mutually rooted with the unwholesome root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Yes (āmantā).
