[711] A phenomenon (dhamma) associated with misapprehension (parāmāsa) is a condition for a phenomenon associated with misapprehension by object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya): one relishes and delights in lust (rāga); taking that as object, lust arises. One relishes and delights in the aggregates (khandhā) associated with misapprehension; taking that as object, lust arises. A phenomenon associated with misapprehension is a condition for a phenomenon dissociated from misapprehension by object condition: noble ones (ariyā) review (paccavekkhanti) the abandoned (pahīna) defilements (kilesā) associated with misapprehension; they review the suppressed (vikkhambhita) defilements; they know the defilements formerly indulged in (samudāciṇṇa). One sees with insight (vipassati) the aggregates associated with misapprehension as impermanent …, relishes and delights in them; taking that as object, lust dissociated from misapprehension, doubt (vicikicchā), restlessness (uddhacca), and grief (domanassa) arise. By the knowledge of others' minds (cetopariyañāṇa) one knows the mind of one who possesses a mind associated with misapprehension. The aggregates associated with misapprehension are a condition, by object condition, for the knowledge of others' minds, for the knowledge of recollection of past lives (pubbenivāsānussatiñāṇa), for the knowledge of faring according to kamma (yathākammūpagañāṇa), for the knowledge of the future (anāgataṃsañāṇa), and for adverting (āvajjanā). A phenomenon dissociated from misapprehension is a condition for a phenomenon dissociated from misapprehension by object condition: a gift … virtue … having performed the uposatha observance, one reviews it, relishes and delights in it; taking that as object, lust dissociated from misapprehension, doubt, restlessness, and grief arise. What was formerly well practiced … jhāna … Noble ones, having emerged from the path (magga), review the path; the fruit (phala) …; they review Nibbāna. Nibbāna is a condition, by object condition, for change-of-lineage (gotrabhū), for cleansing (vodāna), for the path, for the fruit, and for adverting. Noble ones review the abandoned defilements dissociated from misapprehension … the suppressed defilements … formerly … the eye … the base (vatthu) … One sees with insight the aggregates dissociated from misapprehension as impermanent …, relishes and delights in them; taking that as object, lust dissociated from misapprehension, doubt, restlessness, and grief arise. With the divine eye one sees a form; with the divine ear element one hears a sound. By the knowledge of others' minds one knows the mind of one who possesses a mind dissociated from misapprehension. 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), the form base (rūpāyatana) for eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa), the tangible-object base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness (kāyaviññāṇa); the aggregates dissociated from misapprehension are a condition, by object condition, for the knowledge of supernormal powers (iddhividhañāṇa), for the knowledge of others' minds, for the knowledge of recollection of past lives, for the knowledge of faring according to kamma, for the knowledge of the future, and for adverting. A phenomenon dissociated from misapprehension is a condition for a phenomenon associated with misapprehension by object condition: a gift … virtue … the uposatha observance … formerly … jhāna … the eye … the base … one relishes and delights in the aggregates dissociated from misapprehension; taking that as object, lust arises.
