[47] For whomever mind (citta) arises, has that one's mind arisen? Yes. Or, for whomever mind has arisen, does that one's mind arise? At the moment of the dissolution (bhaṅgakkhaṇa) of mind, and for those attained to cessation (nirodhasamāpanna) and for non-percipient beings (asaññasatta): their mind has arisen, but their mind does not arise. At the moment of the arising (uppādakkhaṇa) of mind: their mind both has arisen and arises. For whomever mind does not arise, has that one's mind not arisen? It has arisen. Or, for whomever mind has not arisen, does that one's mind not arise? There is none. For whomever mind arises, will that one's mind arise? At the moment of the arising of the final mind (pacchimacitta): their mind arises, but their mind will not arise. For the others, at the moment of the arising of mind: their mind both arises and will arise. Or, for whomever mind will arise, does that one's mind arise? At the moment of the dissolution of mind, and for those attained to cessation and for non-percipient beings: their mind will arise, but their mind does not arise. At the moment of the arising of mind: their mind both will arise and arises. For whomever mind does not arise, will that one's mind not arise? At the moment of the dissolution of mind, and for those attained to cessation and for non-percipient beings: their mind does not arise, but it is not the case that their mind will not arise. At the moment of the dissolution of the final mind: their mind neither arises nor will arise. Or, for whomever mind will not arise, does that one's mind not arise?
