[854] With the not-root condition (na-hetu-paccaya), with the object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya): nine [answers (vāra)].*
As the conformity (anuloma), the negation (paccanīya), the conformity-negation (anuloma-paccanīya), and the negation-conformity (paccanīya-anuloma) of the question section (pañhāvāra) have been counted in the wholesome triad (kusala-ttika), so should they be counted here.

\* Translator's note: The Siam Raṭṭha Pali reads "na-hetupaccayā ārammaṇe nava" — the not-root condition paired with the object condition, **nine**. The Thai Royal Edition here reads the converse pairing with a different count: "in the condition that is not the object condition, with the root condition, there are **three** answers (มีวาระ ๓)" — i.e., the conformity-negation line "hetupaccayā na-ārammaṇe tīṇi" rather than this negation-conformity line. Both formulas are standard in Paṭṭhāna counting sections; the discrepancy in the negated member and in the count (nine vs. three) evidently reflects a variant reading or a misaligned line in one of the two editions. The Pali source governs the translation.
