[1251] For whomever and wherever the latent tendency to sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya), the latent tendency to repulsion (paṭighānusaya), and the latent tendency to conceit (mānānusaya) lie latent, does the latent tendency to views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency to doubt (vicikicchānusaya) lie latent for that person there?
There is none.
Or rather, for whomever and wherever the latent tendency to doubt lies latent, do the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for that person there?
For an ordinary person (puthujjana), in the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu), the latent tendency to doubt and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for him there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion do not lie latent for him there. For that same person, in the two feelings (vedanā) in the sensuous element (kāmadhātu), the latent tendency to doubt, the latent tendency to sensual lust, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for him there, but the latent tendency to repulsion does not lie latent for him there. For that same person, in painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā), the latent tendency to doubt and the latent tendency to repulsion lie latent for him there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to conceit do not lie latent for him there.
For whomever and wherever the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent, does the latent tendency to lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) lie latent for that person there?
There is none.
Or rather, for whomever and wherever the latent tendency to lust for existence lies latent, do the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for that person there?
No.¹
For whomever and wherever the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent, does the latent tendency to ignorance (avijjānusaya) lie latent for that person there?
There is none.
Or rather, for whomever and wherever the latent tendency to ignorance lies latent, do the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for that person there?
For a non-returner (anāgāmī), in painful feeling, the latent tendency to ignorance lies latent for him there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust, the latent tendency to repulsion, and the latent tendency to conceit do not lie latent for him there. For that same person, in the two feelings in the sensuous element, in the form element, and in the formless element, the latent tendency to ignorance and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for him there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion do not lie latent for him there. For three persons, in the form element and in the formless element, the latent tendency to ignorance and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for them there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion do not lie latent for them there. For those same persons, in the two feelings in the sensuous element, the latent tendency to ignorance, the latent tendency to sensual lust, and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for them there, but the latent tendency to repulsion does not lie latent for them there. For those same persons, in painful feeling, the latent tendency to ignorance and the latent tendency to repulsion lie latent for them there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to conceit do not lie latent for them there.
¹ [Editorial footnote in the Siam Raṭṭha edition:] This reading should be examined, since both the latent tendency to lust for existence and the latent tendency to conceit are obtainable in the form and formless elements. The answer should be as follows: "For four persons, in the form element and in the formless element, the latent tendency to lust for existence and the latent tendency to conceit lie latent for them there, but the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion do not lie latent for them there."
