[145] A not-root, with-root phenomenon (nahetu sahetuko dhammo) is a condition for a not-root, with-root phenomenon by object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya): Giving (dāna) … virtue (sīla) … the uposatha observance (uposathakamma) … they review it; they review what was formerly well practiced; jhāna … The noble ones (ariyā), having emerged from the path, review the path; they review the fruit (phala); (they review) the defilements (kilesa) that have been abandoned …, the defilements that have been suppressed …, formerly … (One contemplates) not-root, with-root aggregates (khandhā) as impermanent …; grief arises. When the wholesome and the unwholesome (kusala, akusala) have ceased, a not-root, with-root resultant (vipāka) arises as registration (tadārammaṇatā). By the knowledge of penetrating others' minds (cetopariya-ñāṇa) one knows the mind (citta) of one who possesses a not-root, with-root mind. The sphere of infinity of space (ākāsānañcāyatana) (is a condition) for the sphere of infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) for the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana); not-root, with-root aggregates are a condition by object condition for the knowledge (ñāṇa) of supernormal powers (iddhividha-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of penetrating others' minds, for the knowledge of the recollection of past lives (pubbenivāsānussati-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of beings faring according to their kamma (yathākammūpaga-ñāṇa), and for the knowledge of the future (anāgataṃsa-ñāṇa). Taking as object not-root, with-root aggregates, not-root, with-root aggregates arise. A not-root, with-root phenomenon is a condition for a not-root, rootless (ahetuka) phenomenon by object condition: (One contemplates) not-root, with-root aggregates as impermanent …; grief arises. When the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, a not-root, rootless resultant arises as registration. Taking as object not-root, with-root aggregates, not-root, rootless aggregates arise. A not-root, rootless phenomenon is a condition for a not-root, rootless phenomenon by object condition: Nibbāna is a condition for adverting (āvajjana) by object condition. (One contemplates) the eye … the base (vatthu) … not-root, rootless aggregates as impermanent …; grief arises. When the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, a not-root, rootless resultant arises as registration. The form base (rūpāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness, the tangible base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness, by object condition. Taking as object not-root, rootless aggregates, not-root, rootless aggregates arise. A not-root, rootless phenomenon is a condition for a not-root, with-root phenomenon by object condition: The noble ones review Nibbāna. Nibbāna is a condition for change-of-lineage (gotrabhū), for cleansing (vodāna), for the path, and for the fruit by object condition. (One contemplates) the eye … the base … not-root, rootless aggregates as impermanent …; grief arises. When the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, a not-root, with-root resultant arises as registration. One sees form with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu); one hears sound with the divine ear element (dibbā sotadhātu). By the knowledge of penetrating others' minds one knows the mind of one who possesses a not-root, rootless mind. Not-root, rootless aggregates are a condition by object condition for the knowledge of supernormal powers, for the knowledge of penetrating others' minds, for the knowledge of the recollection of past lives, and for the knowledge of the future. Taking as object not-root, rootless aggregates, not-root, with-root aggregates arise.
