[652] A phenomenon (dhamma) that is both a hindrance (nīvaraṇa) and associated with hindrances is a condition, by predominance condition (adhipati-paccaya), for a phenomenon that is both a hindrance and associated with hindrances: object-predominance (ārammaṇādhipati). Three (cases), only by way of the weighty object. A phenomenon that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance is a condition, by predominance condition, for a phenomenon that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance: object-predominance, conascence-predominance (sahajātādhipati). Object-predominance: having given weight to the aggregates (khandhā) that are associated with hindrances but not hindrances, aggregates that are associated with hindrances but not hindrances arise. Conascence-predominance: a predominance that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance is a condition, by predominance condition, for the associated aggregates. The roots should be asked. Having given weight to the aggregates that are associated with hindrances but not hindrances, hindrances arise. Conascence-predominance: a predominance that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance is a condition, by predominance condition, for the associated hindrances. Having given weight to the aggregates that are associated with hindrances but not hindrances, hindrances and the associated aggregates arise. Conascence-predominance: a predominance that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance is a condition, by predominance condition, for the associated aggregates and for the hindrances. A phenomenon that is both a hindrance and associated with hindrances and a phenomenon that is associated with hindrances but not a hindrance are a condition, by predominance condition, for a phenomenon that is both a hindrance and associated with hindrances: object-predominance. Three (cases).
