[1495] From whatever [place] someone does not fully understand (parijānāti) the latent tendency of sensual lust (kāmarāgānusaya), the latent tendency of repulsion (paṭighānusaya), the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya), the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya), the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya), and the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) — does he not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) from that [place]? The one possessing the highest path (aggamaggasamaṅgī) — as to painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā): he does not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place]; but it is not the case that he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance from that [place]. That same person — as to the unincluded (apariyāpanna): he does not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place], and he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance. Setting aside the two persons possessing the paths and the eighth person (aṭṭhamaka), the remaining persons, everywhere, do not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence, and they do not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance. Or else, from whatever [place] someone does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance — does he not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place]? The eighth person — as to the three feelings in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), as to the form element (rūpadhātu), and as to the formless element (arūpadhātu): he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place]; but it is not the case that he does not fully understand the latent tendency of views and the latent tendency of doubt from that [place]. That same person — as to the unincluded: he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance from that [place], and he does not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence. The one possessing the path of non-returning (anāgāmimaggasamaṅgī) — as to painful feeling: he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place]; but it is not the case that he does not fully understand the latent tendency of repulsion from that [place]. That same person — as to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that [place]; but it is not the case that he does not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust from that [place]. That same person — as to the form element, the formless element, and the unincluded: he does not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance from that [place], and he does not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence. Setting aside the two persons possessing the paths and the eighth person, the remaining persons, everywhere, do not fully understand the latent tendency of ignorance, and they do not fully understand the latent tendency of sensual lust, the latent tendency of repulsion, the latent tendency of conceit, the latent tendency of views, the latent tendency of doubt, and the latent tendency of lust for existence. The Section on Full Understanding (Pariññāvāra) is concluded. ___________ The Section on Abandonment (Pahīnavāra)
