Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 1312

[1312] Whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya) in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … of the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya)? Three persons — in the two feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), in the form element (rūpadhātu), and in the formless element (arūpadhātu): they are therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit, but they are not therein possessed of the latent tendency of doubt. The ordinary person (puthujjana) — in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element: he is therein possessed both of the latent tendency of conceit and of the latent tendency of doubt. Or rather, whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of doubt in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit? The ordinary person — in painful feeling: he is therein possessed of the latent tendency of doubt, but he is not therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit. That same person — in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element: he is therein possessed both of the latent tendency of doubt and of the latent tendency of conceit. Whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of conceit in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya)? Four persons — in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: they are therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit, but they are not therein possessed of the latent tendency of lust for existence. Those same persons — in the form element and in the formless element: they are therein possessed both of the latent tendency of conceit and of the latent tendency of lust for existence. Or rather, whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of lust for existence in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit? Yes. Whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of conceit in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya)? Yes. Or rather, whoever is possessed of the latent tendency of ignorance in whatever place — is he therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit? Four persons — in painful feeling: they are therein possessed of the latent tendency of ignorance, but they are not therein possessed of the latent tendency of conceit. Those same persons — in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element: they are therein possessed both of the latent tendency of ignorance and of the latent tendency of conceit.
