[1437] From where one fully understands (parijānāti) the latent tendency to sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya) and the latent tendency to repulsion (paṭighānusaya), does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to conceit (mānānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency to conceit, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion? In the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu), from there one fully understands the latent tendency to conceit, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion; in the two feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), from there one fully understands the latent tendency to conceit and the latent tendency to sensual lust, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to repulsion. From where one fully understands the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency to doubt (vicikicchānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency to doubt, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion? In the form element and in the formless element, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to doubt, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion; in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to doubt and the latent tendency to sensual lust, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to repulsion; in painful feeling, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to doubt and the latent tendency to repulsion, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust. From where one fully understands the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to lust for becoming (bhavarāgānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency to lust for becoming, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion? No. From where one fully understands the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to ignorance (avijjānusaya)? There is none. Or rather, from where one fully understands the latent tendency to ignorance, does one from there fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion? In the form element and in the formless element, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to ignorance, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust and the latent tendency to repulsion; in the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to ignorance and the latent tendency to sensual lust, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to repulsion; in painful feeling, from there one fully understands the latent tendency to ignorance and the latent tendency to repulsion, but from there one does not fully understand the latent tendency to sensual lust.
