Suddhasaṅkhāravāra

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 1210

[1210] For whomever, wherever, verbal formation (vacīsaṅkhāra) arises, will mental formation (cittasaṅkhāra) cease for that one there? Yes. Or rather, for whomever, wherever, mental formation will cease, does verbal formation arise for that one there? For all — at the moment of the dissolution of mind (citta), and at the moment of the arising of a mind devoid of thought-conception and discursive thought (vitakka-vicāra) — mental formation will cease for them there, but verbal formation does not arise for them there. At the moment of the arising of thought-conception and discursive thought, mental formation will cease for them there and verbal formation arises.
