[1203] For whomever, wherever, the femininity faculty (itthindriya) does not arise, will the joy faculty (somanassindriya) not arise for that one there?
For those passing away from the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), for non-females (na-itthī) being reborn into the sense sphere, and for beings of the form sphere (rūpāvacara): for them, there, the femininity faculty does not arise, yet it is not the case that for them, there, the joy faculty will not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna (parinibbāna) in the sense sphere, for those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) in the form sphere, for non-percipient beings (asaññasatta), for formless beings (arūpa), and for those who, having been reborn with equanimity (upekkhā), will attain final Nibbāna — for these, as they are passing away: for them, there, the femininity faculty does not arise, and the joy faculty will not arise.
Or again, for whomever, wherever, the joy faculty will not arise, does the femininity faculty not arise for that one there?
For females (itthī) in their final existence who are being reborn, and for those females who, having been reborn with equanimity, will attain final Nibbāna — for these, as they are being reborn: for them, there, the joy faculty will not arise, yet it is not the case that for them, there, the femininity faculty does not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the sense sphere, for those in their final existence in the form sphere, for non-percipient beings, for formless beings, and for those who, having been reborn with equanimity, will attain final Nibbāna — for these, as they are passing away: for them, there, the joy faculty will not arise, and the femininity faculty does not arise.
