[1480] An exalted phenomenon (mahaggata dhamma) is a condition for a measureless phenomenon (appamāṇa dhamma) … — proximate decisive support (anantarūpanissaya), natural decisive support (pakatūpanissaya). Natural decisive support: In dependence on exalted faith (saddhā), one produces measureless jhāna; the path …; one produces the attainment of fruition (phalasamāpatti). In dependence on exalted virtue (sīla) … wisdom (paññā), one produces measureless jhāna … the path … the attainment of fruition. Exalted faith … wisdom is a condition, by decisive-support condition (upanissaya-paccaya), for measureless faith, for wisdom, for the path, for the attainment of fruition.
