[1313] For whomever, wherever, the nose faculty (ghānindriyaṃ) has not arisen, will the joy faculty (somanassindriyaṃ) not arise for that one there? For beings of the form sphere (rūpāvacara), the nose faculty has not arisen for them there, but it is not the case that the joy faculty will not arise for them there. For those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) in the form sphere, for non-percipient beings (asaññasatta), and for formless beings (arūpa), for them there both the nose faculty has not arisen and the joy faculty will not arise. Or rather, for whomever, wherever, the joy faculty will not arise, has the nose faculty not arisen for that one there? For those in their final existence in the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), and for those possessed of a nose (saghānaka) who, having been reborn with equanimity (upekkhā), will attain final Nibbāna, the joy faculty will not arise for them there, but it is not the case that the nose faculty has not arisen for them there. For those in their final existence in the form sphere, for non-percipient beings, and for formless beings, for them there both the joy faculty will not arise and the nose faculty has not arisen.
