Sānusayavāra

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 1314

[1314] Whatever person has the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) lying latent from whatever place, does that person have the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) lying latent from that place? The ordinary person (puthujjana) — in the three feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu): he has the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place, but he does not have the latent tendency of lust for existence lying latent from that place. That very person — in the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu): he has both the latent tendency of doubt lying latent and the latent tendency of lust for existence lying latent from that place. Or, whatever person has the latent tendency of lust for existence lying latent from whatever place, does that person have the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place? Three persons — in the form element and in the formless element: they have the latent tendency of lust for existence lying latent from that place, but they do not have the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place. The ordinary person — in the form element and in the formless element: he has both the latent tendency of lust for existence lying latent and the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place. Whatever person has the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from whatever place, does that person have the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) lying latent from that place? Yes. Or, whatever person has the latent tendency of ignorance lying latent from whatever place, does that person have the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place? Three persons — in the three feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element: they have the latent tendency of ignorance lying latent from that place, but they do not have the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place. The ordinary person — in the three feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element: he has both the latent tendency of ignorance lying latent and the latent tendency of doubt lying latent from that place.
