[1433] From where one fully understands (parijānāti) the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya), does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya)? Yes. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency of doubt, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of conceit? In painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā), one from there fully understands the latent tendency of doubt, but one does not from there fully understand the latent tendency of conceit; in the two feelings in the sensual element (kāmadhātu), in the form element (rūpadhātu), and in the formless element (arūpadhātu), one from there fully understands the latent tendency of doubt and fully understands the latent tendency of conceit. From where one fully understands the latent tendency of conceit, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya)? In the two feelings in the sensual element, one from there fully understands the latent tendency of conceit, but one does not from there fully understand the latent tendency of lust for existence; in the form element and in the formless element, one from there fully understands the latent tendency of conceit and fully understands the latent tendency of lust for existence. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency of lust for existence, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of conceit? Yes. From where one fully understands the latent tendency of conceit, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya)? Yes. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency of ignorance, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency of conceit? In painful feeling, one from there fully understands the latent tendency of ignorance, but one does not from there fully understand the latent tendency of conceit; in the two feelings in the sensual element, in the form element, and in the formless element, one from there fully understands the latent tendency of ignorance and fully understands the latent tendency of conceit.
