[16] Whatever phenomena (dhammā) are indeterminate (abyākata), do they all have the indeterminate as root (abyākatamūlaka)?
The rootless (ahetuka) indeterminate does not have the indeterminate as root; the indeterminate with roots (sahetuka) has the indeterminate as root.
Or, whatever have the indeterminate as root, are all those phenomena indeterminate?
Yes.
Whatever phenomena are indeterminate, are they all one-rooted (ekamūlaka) with the indeterminate root?
The rootless indeterminate is not one-rooted with the indeterminate root; the indeterminate with roots is one-rooted with the indeterminate root.
Or, whatever are one-rooted with the indeterminate root, are all those phenomena indeterminate?
Yes.
Whatever phenomena are one-rooted with the indeterminate root, are they all mutually rooted (aññamaññamūlaka) with the indeterminate root?
Those indeterminate roots (mūla) which arise together are both one-rooted and mutually rooted; the remaining phenomena conascent (sahajāta) with the indeterminate root are one-rooted with the indeterminate root, but not mutually rooted.
Or, whatever are mutually rooted with the indeterminate root, are all those phenomena indeterminate?
Yes.
