Parittāraṁmaṇattika

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (2) · Vol. 41 · Section 1575

[1575] A phenomenon (dhamma) with a measureless object (appamāṇārammaṇa) is a condition, by object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya), for a phenomenon with a limited object (parittārammaṇa): The noble ones review change-of-lineage (gotrabhū); they review cleansing (vodāna); they review the reviewing of the path (magga-paccavekkhaṇā); they review the reviewing of fruition (phala-paccavekkhaṇā); they review the reviewing of Nibbāna (nibbāna-paccavekkhaṇā). One sees with insight the limited aggregates (khandhā) that have a measureless object as impermanent … By the knowledge (ñāṇa) of penetration of others' minds (cetopariyañāṇa) one knows the mind (citta) of one endowed with a limited mind that has a measureless object. The limited aggregates that have a measureless object are a condition, by object condition, for the knowledge of penetration of others' minds, for the knowledge of recollection of past lives (pubbenivāsānussati-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of how beings fare according to their kamma (yathākammūpaga-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of the future (anāgataṃsa-ñāṇa), and for adverting (āvajjanā).
