[112] A phenomenon (dhamma) that is both a root (hetu) and accompanied by roots (sahetuka) is a condition, by way of object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya), for a phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots: Taking a root as object, roots arise. A phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots is a condition, by way of object condition, for a phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root: Taking a root as object, aggregates (khandhā) that are accompanied by roots but are not roots arise. A phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots is a condition, by way of object condition, for a phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots and for a phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root: Taking a root as object, roots and the associated (sampayuttaka) aggregates arise. A phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root is a condition, by way of object condition, for a phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root: Having given a gift (dāna), virtue (sīla) … the uposatha observance … one reviews it; one reviews things formerly well practiced; having emerged from jhāna, one reviews the jhāna. Noble ones (ariyā), having emerged from the path (magga), review the path; they review the fruit (phala); they review the defilements (kilesa) that have been abandoned; they review the defilements that have been suppressed; they know the defilements formerly indulged in. (One contemplates) the aggregates that are accompanied by roots but are not roots as impermanent …; grief (domanassa) arises. By the knowledge penetrating the minds of others (cetopariya-ñāṇa) one knows the mind (citta) of one who possesses a mind that is accompanied by roots but is not a root. The sphere of the infinity of space (ākāsānañcāyatana) is a condition, by way of object condition, for the sphere of the infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), and the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) for the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana). Aggregates that are accompanied by roots but are not roots are a condition, by way of object condition, for the knowledge of supernormal powers (iddhividha-ñāṇa), for the knowledge penetrating the minds of others, for the knowledge of the recollection of past lives (pubbenivāsānussati-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of faring according to kamma (yathākammūpaga-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of going according to kamma (kammūpaga-ñāṇa), and for the knowledge of the future (anāgataṃsa-ñāṇa). A phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root is a condition, by way of object condition, for a phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots: Having given a gift … the first round; without difference. A phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root is a condition, by way of object condition, for a phenomenon that is both a root and accompanied by roots and for a phenomenon that is accompanied by roots but not a root: Having given a gift … as in the first round, so (here), without difference.
