Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 1317

[1317] Whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency (sānusaya) through the latent tendency of sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya), the latent tendency of repulsion (paṭighānusaya), and the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya)—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency through the latent tendency of doubt—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit? The ordinary person (puthujjana), in regard to the form element (rūpadhātu) and the formless element (arūpadhātu): from that [place] he has latent tendency through the latent tendency of doubt and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] he does not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion. That same person, in regard to the two feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu): from that [place] he has latent tendency through the latent tendency of doubt, the latent tendency of sensual lust, and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] he does not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of repulsion. That same person, in regard to painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā): from that [place] he has latent tendency through the latent tendency of doubt and the latent tendency of repulsion, but from that [place] he does not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of conceit. Whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency through the latent tendency of lust for existence—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit? He has latent tendency through the latent tendency of conceit.[1] Whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, whoever, from any given [place], has latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance—does he, from that [place], have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit? The non-returner (anāgāmī), in regard to painful feeling: from that [place] he has latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance, but from that [place] he does not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, and the latent tendency of conceit. That same person, in regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, and in regard to the form element and the formless element: from that [place] he has latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] he does not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion. Three persons, in regard to the form element and the formless element: from that [place] they have latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] they do not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion. Those same persons, in regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: from that [place] they have latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of sensual lust, and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] they do not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of repulsion. Those same persons, in regard to painful feeling: from that [place] they have latent tendency through the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of repulsion, but from that [place] they do not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of conceit. [1] Note in the Siam Raṭṭha edition: "Only this much of the Pali text is found. The answer ought to stand complete thus: 'Four persons, in regard to the form element and the formless element: from that [place] they have latent tendency through the latent tendency of lust for existence and the latent tendency of conceit, but from that [place] they do not have latent tendency through the latent tendency of sensual lust and the latent tendency of repulsion.'"
