[1598] A phenomenon with an exalted object (mahaggatārammaṇo dhammo) is a condition for a phenomenon with a limited object (parittārammaṇo dhammo) by decisive-support condition (upanissaya-paccaya): object decisive-support (ārammaṇūpanissaya), proximity decisive-support (anantarūpanissaya), natural decisive-support (pakatūpanissaya).
Natural decisive-support: In dependence on faith (saddhā) with an exalted object, one gives a gift (dāna), undertakes virtue (sīla), performs the uposatha observance (uposathakamma); jhāna with a limited object … insight (vipassanā) … superknowledge (abhiññā) … attainment (samāpatti) … one conceives conceit (māna), grasps a view (diṭṭhi). In dependence on virtue with an exalted object … aspiration (patthanā), one gives a gift … grasps a view.
Faith with an exalted object … aspiration is a condition for faith with a limited object, for aspiration, for bodily pleasure (kāyika sukha), for bodily pain (kāyika dukkha), by decisive-support condition.
