[13] Whatever phenomena (dhammā) are unwholesome (akusala), are they all rooted in the unwholesome root (akusalamūlamūlaka)?
The rootless (ahetuka) unwholesome is not rooted in the unwholesome root; the unwholesome with roots (sahetuka) is rooted in the unwholesome root.
Or rather, whatever phenomena are rooted in the unwholesome root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Form (rūpa) originated by the unwholesome (akusalasamuṭṭhāna) is rooted in the unwholesome root but is not unwholesome; the unwholesome is both rooted in the unwholesome root and unwholesome.
Whatever phenomena are unwholesome, are they all rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root (akusalamūlena ekamūlamūlaka)?
The rootless unwholesome is not rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root; the unwholesome with roots is rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root.
Or rather, whatever phenomena are rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Form originated by the unwholesome is rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root but is not unwholesome; the unwholesome is both rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root and unwholesome.
Whatever phenomena are rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root, are they all rooted in mutual roots with the unwholesome root (akusalamūlena aññamaññamūlamūlaka)?
Those roots that arise together, being unwholesome roots (akusalamūla), are both rooted in one and the same root and rooted in mutual roots; the remaining phenomena conascent (sahajāta) with the unwholesome roots are rooted in one and the same root with the unwholesome root, but are not rooted in mutual roots.
Or rather, whatever phenomena are rooted in mutual roots with the unwholesome root, are all those phenomena unwholesome?
Yes (āmantā).
