[1242] Where the latent tendency of sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya), the latent tendency of repulsion (paṭighānusaya), the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya), the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya), and the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) lie latent, does the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) lie latent there?
There is none.
Or rather, where the latent tendency of lust for existence lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent there?
In the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu) — here the latent tendency of lust for existence, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie 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 sensual lust, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent; but the latent tendency of lust for existence and the latent tendency of repulsion do not lie latent there. In painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā) — here the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent; but the latent tendency of lust for existence, 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, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent, does the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) lie latent there?
There is none.
Or rather, where the latent tendency of ignorance lies latent, do the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent there?
In the form element and in the formless element — here the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie 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, the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent; but the latent tendency of repulsion does not lie latent there. In painful feeling — here the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of views, and the latent tendency of doubt lie latent; but the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of conceit do not lie latent there.
