[234] A phenomenon (dhamma) with impingement (sappaṭigha) is a condition for a phenomenon without impingement (appaṭigha) by object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya): The eye … tangible objects as impermanent … grief (domanassa) arises. One sees a form (rūpa) with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu); one hears a sound with the divine ear element (dibbā sotadhātu). The form base (rūpāyatana) [is a condition] for eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa), the tangible-object base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness (kāyaviññāṇa). Aggregates with impingement (sappaṭighā khandhā) are a condition for the knowledge of supernormal power (iddhividha-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of the recollection of past abodes (pubbenivāsānussati-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of the future (anāgataṃsa-ñāṇa), and for adverting (āvajjana), by object condition. A phenomenon without impingement is a condition for a phenomenon without impingement by object condition: A gift (dāna) … virtue (sīla) … having performed the uposatha observance (uposatha-kamma), one reviews it. One reviews what was formerly well practiced. Having emerged from jhāna, one reviews the jhāna. The noble ones (ariyā), having emerged from the path (magga), review the path; they review the fruit (phala). Nibbāna is a condition for change-of-lineage (gotrabhū), for purification (vodāna), for the path, for the fruit, and for adverting, by object condition. The noble ones review the defilements (kilesa) that have been abandoned; they review the defilements that have been suppressed; they know the defilements formerly indulged in. The base (vatthu) … the femininity faculty (itthindriya), the masculinity faculty (purisindriya), the life faculty (jīvitindriya), the water element (āpodhātu) … edible food (kabaḷiṃkāra āhāra) as impermanent … grief arises. By the knowledge encompassing the minds of others (cetopariya-ñāṇa) one knows the mind (citta) of one endowed with a mind without impingement. The sphere of the infinity of space (ākāsānañcāyatana) [is a condition] for the sphere of the infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) for the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana). Aggregates without impingement are a condition for the knowledge of supernormal power, for the knowledge encompassing the minds of others, for the knowledge of the recollection of past abodes, for the knowledge of beings faring according to their kamma (yathākammūpaga-ñāṇa), for the knowledge of the future, and for adverting, by object condition.
