Abayākatadhaṁnidadesa

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (1) · Vol. 38 · Section 15

[15] Whatever phenomena (dhammā) are indeterminate (abyākata), are all those indeterminate root-roots (abyākatamūlamūla)? There are only three indeterminate root-roots; the remaining indeterminate phenomena are not indeterminate root-roots. Or, whatever are indeterminate root-roots, are all those phenomena indeterminate? Yes. Whatever phenomena are indeterminate, are all those one in root-root with the indeterminate root (abyākatamūlena ekamūlamūla)? The rootless (ahetuka) indeterminate is not one in root-root with the indeterminate root; the indeterminate with roots (sahetuka) is one in root-root with the indeterminate root. Or, whatever are one in root-root with the indeterminate root, are all those phenomena indeterminate? Yes. Whatever phenomena are one in root-root with the indeterminate root, are all those mutually root-roots with the indeterminate root (abyākatamūlena aññamaññamūlamūla)? Those roots which arise together as indeterminate roots are both one in root-root and mutually root-roots; the remaining phenomena conascent (sahajāta) with the indeterminate root are one in root-root with the indeterminate root, but are not mutually root-roots. Or, whatever are mutually root-roots with the indeterminate root, are all those phenomena indeterminate? Yes.
