[1413] One who does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) from a given place — does he not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) from that place?
The person possessed of the highest path (aggamaggasamaṅgī): as regards the form element (rūpadhātu) and the formless element (arūpadhātu), he does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from there, yet it is not the case that he does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from there. That same person: as regards the three feelings (vedanā) in the sense element (kāmadhātu) and as regards the unincluded (apariyāpanna), he does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from there and does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from there. Except for the person possessed of the highest path and the eighth person (aṭṭhamaka), the remaining persons do not abandon the latent tendency of doubt and do not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence in all places.
Or rather, one who does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from a given place — does he not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from that place?
The eighth person: as regards the three feelings in the sense element, the form element, and the formless element, he does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from there, yet it is not the case that he does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from there. That same person: as regards the unincluded, he does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from there and does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from there. Except for the person possessed of the highest path and the eighth person, the remaining persons do not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence and do not abandon the latent tendency of doubt in all places.
One who does not abandon the latent tendency of doubt from a given place — does he not abandon the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) from that place?
