[1239] Where the latent tendency of sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya) and the latent tendency of repulsion (paṭighānusaya) lie latent, does the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya) lie latent there? There is none. Or else, where the latent tendency of conceit lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent there? In the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu): here the latent tendency of conceit lies latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion do not lie latent there. In the two feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu): here the latent tendency of conceit and the latent tendency of sensual lust lie latent, but the latent tendency of repulsion does not lie latent there. In painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā): here the latent tendency of repulsion lies latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of conceit do not lie latent there.¹ Where the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent, does the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) lie latent there? There is none. Or else, where the latent tendency of doubt lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent there? In the form element and in the formless element: here the latent tendency of doubt lies latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion do not lie latent there. In the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: here the latent tendency of doubt and the latent tendency of sensual lust lie latent, but the latent tendency of repulsion does not lie latent there. In painful feeling: here the latent tendency of doubt and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust does not lie latent there. Where the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent, does the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) lie latent there? There is none. Or else, where the latent tendency of lust for existence lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent there? No. Where the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent, does the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) lie latent there? There is none. Or else, where the latent tendency of ignorance lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent there? In the form element and in the formless element: here the latent tendency of ignorance lies latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion do not lie latent there. In the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: here the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of sensual lust lie latent, but the latent tendency of repulsion does not lie latent there. In painful feeling: here the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of repulsion lie latent, but the latent tendency of sensual lust does not lie latent there. ¹ [Editorial footnote in the Siam Raṭṭha edition:] "The passage beginning 'in painful feeling…' (dukkhāya vedanā…) may be superfluous, for the reason that will be stated in the section on the latent tendency of lust for existence."
