[1436] From where one fully understands (parijānāti) the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya), 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 lust for existence? In the three feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), from there one fully understands the latent tendency of ignorance, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency of lust for existence. In the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu), from there one both fully understands the latent tendency of ignorance and fully understands the latent tendency of lust for existence.
