[1511] Where the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) has been abandoned, has the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) been abandoned there? In the three feelings (vedanā) in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu) — here the latent tendency of doubt has been abandoned; the latent tendency of lust for existence should not be said to be either abandoned or not abandoned. In the form element (rūpadhātu) and in the formless element (arūpadhātu) — here both the latent tendency of doubt has been abandoned and the latent tendency of lust for existence has been abandoned. Or else, where the latent tendency of lust for existence has been abandoned, has the latent tendency of doubt been abandoned there? Yes. Where the latent tendency of doubt has been abandoned, has the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) been abandoned there? Yes. Or else, where the latent tendency of ignorance has been abandoned, has the latent tendency of doubt been abandoned there? Yes.
