[664] A phenomenon with thought (savitakka dhamma) is a condition (paccaya) for a phenomenon with thought by dissociation condition (vippayutta-paccaya): conascent (sahajāta), postnascent (pacchājāta). A phenomenon without thought (avitakka dhamma) is a condition for a phenomenon without thought by dissociation condition: conascent, prenascent (purejāta), postnascent. A phenomenon without thought is a condition for a phenomenon with thought by dissociation condition: conascent, prenascent. A phenomenon without thought is a condition for a phenomenon with thought and for a phenomenon without thought by dissociation condition: conascent, prenascent. Conascent: At the moment of rebirth-linking (paṭisandhi), the base (vatthu) is a condition for thought (vitakka) and for the associated aggregates (khandhā) by dissociation condition. Prenascent: The base is a condition for thought and for the associated aggregates by dissociation condition. A phenomenon with thought and a phenomenon without thought are a condition for a phenomenon without thought by dissociation condition: conascent, postnascent. (Abridged.)
