[1216] For whomever, wherever, the joy faculty (somanassindriya) does not arise, will the equanimity faculty (upekkhindriya) not arise for that one there? For all [beings] at the moment of dissolution (bhaṅgakkhaṇa) of the mind (citta), and at the moment of arising (uppādakkhaṇa) of a mind dissociated from joy, the joy faculty does not arise for them there; but it is not the case that the equanimity faculty will not arise for them there. At the moment of dissolution of the final mind (pacchimacitta) associated with joy; for those endowed with the final mind associated with equanimity (upekkhā); at the moment of dissolution of that mind immediately after which the final mind associated with joy will arise; and for the non-percipient beings (asaññasatta) — for them there, the joy faculty does not arise and the equanimity faculty will not arise. Or else, for whomever, wherever, the equanimity faculty will not arise, does the joy faculty not arise for that one there? At the moment of arising of the final mind associated with joy, and at the moment of arising of that mind immediately after which the final mind associated with joy will arise, the equanimity faculty will not arise for them there; but it is not the case that the joy faculty does not arise for them there. At the moment of dissolution of the final mind associated with joy; for those endowed with the final mind associated with equanimity; at the moment of dissolution of that mind immediately after which the final mind associated with joy will arise; and for the non-percipient beings — for them there, the equanimity faculty will not arise and the joy faculty does not arise.
