Parittattika

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (2) · Vol. 41 · Section 1509

[1509] A limited (paritta) phenomenon is a condition for a limited phenomenon by presence condition (atthi-paccaya) — conascent, prenascent, postnascent, nutriment, faculty. Conascent (sahajāta): one limited aggregate (khandha) is a condition for the three aggregates and for mind-originated forms (citta-samuṭṭhāna-rūpa) by presence condition; two aggregates … At the moment of rebirth-linking (paṭisandhi), the aggregates are a condition for the base (vatthu) by presence condition; the base is a condition for the aggregates by presence condition; one great element (mahābhūta) … (Abbreviated.) For the non-percipient beings (asaññasattā) … . Prenascent (purejāta): one sees with insight the eye … the base as impermanent …, relishes it and delights in it; with that as object, lust (rāga) arises, grief (domanassa) arises. The form base (rūpāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness (cakkhu-viññāṇa), the tangible-object base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness (kāya-viññāṇa), by presence condition. The eye base (cakkhāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness by presence condition; the body base (kāyāyatana) for body-consciousness; the base is a condition for the limited aggregates by presence condition. Postnascent (pacchājāta): the limited aggregates are a condition for this prenascent body by presence condition. Edible nutriment (kabaḷīkāra āhāra) is a condition for this body by presence condition. The material life faculty (rūpa-jīvitindriya) is a condition for kamma-born forms (kaṭattā-rūpa) by presence condition.
