It is extremely di Eliot] It. for otic to become a Supremely Enlightened
RuJdha. First of al! one must have qualified oneself to receive the
prediction from a living Buddha. This, too, is difalt because, the.
following tig! it conditions have to be satisfied : —
1. That one ls u human being. (It is not possible for a J W r , „ r
a Brahma to become a Buddha.)
2. That one is a man. {11, is not possible for a woman, a lu-rninjili ni-
di to and so on who do not posses* the XI bodily signs of fl
great man.)
m l_ That the inherent qualities of Arahutsliip have already been
acquired sn tSie existence when the prediction was made.
4. Tliat one mceia with a living Enlightened Buddha (The wish
cannot be fulfilled if it is made to an Enlightened Buddha
who has passed away H to a talent Buddha, to an Am hat or
at a pagoda.)
n. That one is a BliEUm or, if a hermit, one who has [icrlVu
confidence in Kftinma. (The wish to become an Enlightened
Buddha made by an ordinary person will not be fulfilled.)
6. That one has acquired the’ S attainments and 5 supernormal
powers. (One who has not acquired these attainments and
powers is not able to examine and select the perfections to bn
practised.)
7. That one is ready to give up one's life U) the Enlightened Buddha.
8. That one has the dominant desire to practise and attain the
perfections which arc necessary for becoming an Enlightened
V^ddha.
With regard to the last condition, the nature of that desire can be
understood from the following examples : —
If it is heard that one can become an Enlightened Buddha by
(a.) Sw immin g from one end to another of a world system filled
with water, or
(A) walking from one end to another of a world system filled with
live coals, or
(c) walking from one end to another of a world system Idled with
spears that pierce through the fcet> or
IhncOUfM ni\ ElrnirfUs.

ft/) going from one aid L.o another of a world system of a thick arid
entangled forest of bamboo grovcri and creepers of thorns, or
(e) suffering torment in hell for 4 incalculable aeons and 100,000
world periods,
r here will be no thought of the immensity of the task or the extreme
hardship but only the desire to undertake the feat without a
n loan cut’s hesitation. *
Alter the prediction, the Buddha- to -be 1 ms to practise and attain
the ton perfections of charity, virtue and so on for the minimum
p™d of 4 incalculable aeons and 100,000 world periods in order
to become the Enlightened Buddha. He Inis to undergo all kinds
of hardship in practising them for the purification of hh mind,
passing innumerable times from one existence to another and from
one world to another. As a result lie acquires perfect knowledge
of both matter and mind.
Btiddea\s PEitmrr Knowledge of tjie Material World
It is abundantly dear from the expositions concerning matter
m the AbhiJhamma and the Sottas that the Buddha had perfect
knowledge of the material world which, out. of His boundless
compassion for all beings. He expounded for their welfare and
prosperity.
^ la the Hana-Vibhaitga of the Abhidhamma the Buddha revealed
bis profound knowledge of the nature of all kinds of elements,. Here
arc a few extracts concerning inanimate things. When the Buddha
Sil1 ' a C'OuJd tell what predominant elements caused ^1} the
trunk to be white, black or uniform in colour ; (2) the hark to be.
thick or thin ; (3) the flowers to be red, yellow, brown or white
m colour and their scent to be good or bad ; (4) the fruits to be
Kmall, big, long or round in shape ; their interior good, fine or
coarse ; their odour good or bad and their taste sweet, sour, hot
or astringent ; (f>) the thorns to be sharp, blunt, straight or crooked
ami reel, black, brown or white and sc on in colour. The Pitakas
also speak of the Buddha's perfect knowledge of matter,

of instruction for deliverance, i.c. :—

knew who held the eternal ist and annihilationist views
or who held right views acd practised to attain insight-
. knowledge ;
the predominant nature of the minds in past existences.
The Buddha knew that it was because of the predomin-
ance of greed, anger or delusion in the past that a
particular being is greedy, easily roused to anger or
dull and distracted in Lis present existence. Similarly
for those who arc non-greed y t amiable or intelligent ;
the unwholesome tendencies that lie dormant in beings.
The Buddha knew which of the following seven tcu-
. denciea were predominant in a being : (1) sensual
craving ; (2) anger ; (3) conceit ; (4) wrong view's ;
(5) doubt; (G) craving for higher existence, and
(7) ignorance ;

existences. The Buddha knew who had the traits of

contagious diseases. Environment plays a great part m
the formation of habits. They ate of six types: (1J

(3) frn tit ; (6) intelligence. The Buddha knew the pur -
tEcular type of habit of a being and the proper teaching
and meditation to be given ;
(j) the good deeds that were performed in past existences.
The Ladd ha knew- the kinds of good deeds performed

attained in regard to them.
Methods of Teaching
_ There are the Sutta and Abhtdhamma methods of Teaching, In
the Sutta method, the inclinations and mental status of the audience
are considered by the Buddha, Will this person quickly realize
the Four Xoble Truths by an exposition of the Teaching on the
aggregates, or the bases or the elements ? If it is to be on the aggre-
gates, vrtll it be necessary to give the exposition briefly or at length-?
Vr'hcn this has been decided, the mental disposition of the being in
juist existences is taken into account and the appropriate Teaching

According to this, the mental factors arise together with con-
sciousness at the moment when one of the six objects, say visible
object, ia taken. Although they arise together each exhibits its
own characteristic and carries out its own function. For instance,
consciousness exhibits its characteristic of being aware of an object,
contact that of touch and feeling that of experiencing the object.
These mental factors always
(1) arise together with consciousness,
(2) cease together with consciousness,
(3) take the same object as consciousness,
(4) have the same base as consciousness.
These arc their four characteristics of association with conscious-
ness as mentioned in the Explanation to Chapter VI of the Dhatu-
katha.
This will now be explained further. First of all, since conscious-
ness must be aware of an object, it cannot arise with ant an object.
This is in accordance with the object- condition of the Pa^tbann.
In the case when consciousness does not arise as in sleep there is the
XV |
DixctntTW ort FAc.mtnlx
arising anti ceding of the mental life-continuum. which tabes as
object either a good or evd action (karmr.n), a sign of good or evil
votd.iOH (k&imna-rnimtta) or a sign of destiny (gati-mmittn). it
in the object that was taken at the time of den tit in the previous
existence. There arc many accounts of this mental life-continuiirii
acich as L ' Bhavaiign.ru iivajjanaya " and so on in the PnffMnn.
fk) when wholesome Consciousness arises as the result of taking a
v wible object, the statement given above : —
[1) The mental factors arise together evith that ormsciousne-w is
i’i accordance with the oo-iutsccuee, mutuality, support, association,
presence a in) non- disappearance conditions of the TaL-thana where
it stated that ,L The four mental aggregates arc related to one
another by way of co-nascence condition " and so on.
(2) The mental factors cease together with consciousness. Con
sciousucss bests for 3 momentary phases, nascent, static and ceasing,
So tlic mental factors, which .arise together with consciousness, also
last for the same time and cease together with it. Only when one
gi'Oij]) of consciousness and mental factors ceases can another arise.
It is stated in the Truth, Mental Formation, States and Faculty
chapters of the Yamaha and in the proximity condition of Faith ana
that a process of a risings and Housings of these mental groups take
place which is in accordance with their nature. Therefore, the whole-
some consciousness together with the mental factors which arise as
the result of taking a visible object is only a part of this mental
process. The complete process consists of (1) vibrating of the life-
continuum ; (2) arrest of the life-con tinuuio ; ( 3 ) 5 sense-door
advertence ; (4) eye consciousness; (5) recipient consciousness;
CGJ i uves; gating consciousness ; (7j seven successive wholesome
impulsions, and (8) two successive moments of registering con-
sciousness. The first wholesome impulsion of the seven in the process
is related to the second by way of proximity, contiguity, decisive
support, frequency, absence T disappearance conditions of the
Patti i ana. Thus the first impulsion of the. consciousness and
mental factors brings about the conditions for the second impulsion
to arise. When this happens, the first impulsion has ceased and the
second is' present. It is the same with the remaining impulsions.
Except in the non-perceptcd plane of existence and at the time
of the Attainment of Cessation while alive ( N irodh asainipatti),
x.e. on those occasions when there, is suspension of consciousness
and mental factors, the groups of consciousness nnd mental factors in
Preface
XV'IL
the remaining 30 planea of existence arc abnys aria Eng and censing
n ti (1 Im tiled lately following one another byway of proximity and
other conditions. Tlaisgocs on from one existence Lo another, from
rme world to another. At the end of one existence the censing of the
death -ronacimisM cm is immediately followed by tin; arming nf rebirth -
cinisciotifincsa nil la out any intervening jwrnod of t-imc. And in the
new existence the groups of consciousness Jmd mental tautens whir, Is
nnsc fus the rests It of taking differ cut objects, (succeed one mi ether
so long as the round of rebirths is not ended. This also holds true
even in the: case of the living Arab at w bo has not attained final
extinction (parinibbhTia). It is only with death -consciousness of
the Arahat that the proximity condition do longer functions ; for
since no new mental group will ever arise ignuy there hi no more
rebirth in any plane of existence, i.c. matemlity and mentality will
never manifest themselves again.
(3) The mental factors ■ take the same object as consciousness.
Tlie visible object taken by consciousness is taken also by the mental
factors which arise together with that cotssaousness. Tltt.s is the
same for all the other live objects, A detailed account of these
objects is given in the object-condition of fheFktihana,
(4) The mental factors have the same base us consciousness.
In the 4 immaterial existences' and the wu -per cep ted existence,
rebirth can be avoided by the practice, of mental culture ; but in
the remaining 20 planes of existence the consciousness and mental
factors cannot arise- without a physical base. For example, cye-
conscio useless is dependent on the eye-base, ear-consciousness on the
car -base and so on for the other eensKonscionsnessea. Thus,
excluding the 1 types of immaterial resultant consciousness, the
mind element and the remaining 72 types of mind-consciousness
can offly arise, in dependence on the heart base. The fact that con-
sciousness and mental factors arise dependent, oil the six bases is
to be found in the Fatthana under support* pre-nascence, faculty,
dissociation, presence and non- disappearance conditions. There it
is stated that the eye -base is related to eye-con sciolist] css , ear-
base is related to ear-consciousness , , . bod2y consciousness, physical
base is related to wholesome states, phyotaE base is related to un-
wholesome states, physical base is related to resultant mdetersojaate,
inoperative indeterminate- states " by way of the above conditions,

The Base Specified as Heart-Base in the Commentaries
The physical base mentioned above in the support condition and
o tliers of the I'afthnna is not specified as henrt-baac. There is no
dispute about, the locations of eye-base, car-base, etc., but only
Ji bout the location of the physical base on which the mind-clement
and mind -conscious ness arc dependents Docs it reside hi the brain,
l»ng> heart or anywhere else in the human system? The com-
mentaries state that ut the centre OE the heart Litem is a cavity
the size of the hollow of a punnnga seed (the Alexandrian laurel
tree] which is filled with blood spread throughout which is the
physical base. Its specific locality, therefore, is designated as the
heart base,
* * *
The Base is not Expounded in the DhammasancanI
Why was this physical base of mind-consciousness which was
expounded by the Buddha in the Ptttfhana not expounded in the
Dhammasangaru 1 The reason is that the symmetry of the twofold
classification of object-couplets would not be upheld. In the
materiality section of the Dhammosangani, where the table of
contents is laid down by means of unitary, twofold and so on up to
elevenfold class ificati on 3 it is stated in the twofold classification
on base-couplets that “ There is materiality (eye-base) which is
the base of eye-consciousness. There h materiality (all materiality
*■ except eye-base) which is not the base of eye-consciousness f '.
Similar statements are also made for the remaining 4 bases of car-
consciousness and so on up to bodily- consciousness. But there is
no mention of the twofold classification of the sixth base which
would have to be stated os follows
n< There is materiality which is the base of m ind -consciousness.
There is materiality which is not the base of mind-consciousnessT
If this had been done, the physical base, specified as heart-base
ill the com ui enterics, would be inferred.
With regard to tlie object-couplet, which conics after the base-
couplet, similar statements arc also made. There is materiality
(visible-dbjectj which is the object of ey c-eonsciousntss. There is
materiality [all materiality except visible-object) which is not the
object of ear- consciousness arid so on up to bodily -consciousness.

The Methods of Exposition of the Abhiehamma
The Ahhidliamnia cannot, be understood without knowing the.
method of the exposition. In expounding it the Buddha provided

these wherever necessary, For instance, in the Dhamniasafigani
each typo of consciousness h classified, c.g. 11 Nov/, on that occasion,
the aggregates nro four, tho bases arc two and tho elements aco two f \
This method is then applied to the classification of states under
aggregates, bases and dements in the fust chapter 0 f tho Dhitu-
kntba and the four subsequent chapters are based on the method
of this chapter, Tn this manner the Buddha provided methods right
up to Pa^hann. Here the subject is treated j it numerous ways
but the methods are always given. Therefore, the Abludhamnm,
Unlike the Tutta and Yinnyn, must be studied under a teacher who
is conversant with the methods. The translator of this text was the
first to devise charts of the Abhidhnmina for easy' understanding.
In fact the Patthnnu, in the form of charts, ia lading easily studied
at present in different parts of Burma, In this connection the author
suggests that the Pali Text Society publish Charts of its “ Com-
pendium of FuStosophy ' as an. aid to the proper understanding
of this text. It is believed that by doing so it will become a much
more popular publication.

Discourses on tee Elements
The Buddha s discourses on the elements, besides being found
in the Dhatu-katha, occur also in other Texts of the Abhidhnmma
Pl^aka such as the. Dh&tu-Vrbhatiga and Dhatu-Yamakn of the
Vibhanga and Yamaha Texts respectively. They are also contained
in such Sutta Pitaka passages as Dhhtu-Manasikara In the Mnhu-
Satlpat1;bana Sutta of the Di 0 ]ia and Mnjjhima Kikayas ; in the
Maha-Hatthipadopama, Dhatu-Yibhanga and Rahulovuda Suttos
of the Mnjjhiuia and in the Dhatu-Samyntta of the Sarhyutta.
The treatment of the elements in each of these discourses is briefly
as follows : —
1. Dliatii' Vibhanga of Abhidhamma Vibhanga.
This chapter consists of the Sutta, Abhidhamma and Catechism

is provided.
Ubeu the eye-element arises in a person, does the ear-
element also arise ? This is with reference not only to
the person as above but also to existence and bo til person
and existence at six periods of time, the present* past*

The four elements, earth, heat, water and wind, are dealt with
under the contemplation of body in the Maha-Satipatthana ^uttas
of these two Nlkayas.

to show their diverse natures and an a result ot which diverse results
arc produced. 'flic following m an example taken from the trans-
lation by J\Ic3 r Khys Davids, Kindred is, pp. 101, 10T :. —
The Exalted One said this : " What, brethren, is the diversity
in elements I The elements of eye, of visible object, of eye eon
sciousnesa \ the elements of ear, of sound, of ear-consciousness . . .
the elements of mind, of cognizable objects, of ii’imd-conscioiisncss ;
this, brethren, is called diversity in elements.
Because of the diversity in elements, brethren* arises diversity
in perceptions ; because of diversity in perceptions arises diversity
in intentions {aims} ; because of diversity in intentions {asms) arises
diversity in desires - because of diversity in desires arises diversity
in distress (yearnings) ; because of diversity in distress {yearnings)
arises diversity in quests,”
Besides these, there arc many other discourses on the radiant
elements, the lustre elements, the elements of infinity of space,
infinity of consciousness, nothingness, neitlier perception nor non-
perception, attainment of cessation and so ou
The Dhatu-katba, however, deals with the classification and non-
clnssihcation* etc. divided into 14- chapters, of the 22 triplets and
100 couplets, already expounded in the Dhammasatigain, and of the
aggregates* bases and elements, etc. already expounded in the
Yibhanga.

Till; Elements
An element is defined as that which bears its own intrinsic nature.
Tt cannot be split up or transformed into another. The elements
are abstract qualities and as such are empty and void of substODce,
seif, soul* I, being, person and life. Except for Nibbana, which is
Prtfacc xxiii
[KTfiianent and unconditioned, the rest of tbo elements arc the
ultimate constituents of a]] tl lings which are said to be animate
and inanimate. These hitter dements will he bneOy dealt with
here. For when one Inls realfy grasped their true natures in a
practical way for oneself „ they wilE be realised n js suffering and
given up. Only then wjI! NibbJina Eh; atLaimn!,

The dements are not permanently present, They arise to exhibit
their own characteristic natures and perform their own characteristic
functions when the pnojter conditions are satisfied, and they cease
after llieir span of duration. Tims no being lias any control over the
arising arid ceasing of the dements anti they arc not at his mercy
or wilt however mighty and powerful he may be. In other words,
the dements have no regard for anyone, show no favour to anyone
and do not accede to the wishes of anyone. They arc entirely
dependent on conditions.
For examp !e, when the four conditions : a visible object, the
sense of sight, light and attention, arc present, tfic eye-consciousness
clement arises. No power can prevent this dement from arising when
these conditions arc present or cause it to arise when one of them
is absent.
Elements are the Uh/tiwate Constituents of Things
Wlnt is conventionally known as & piece of wood consists of
eight material dements, earth, heat, wind, water, visibility, odour,
taste and nutriment. The sense of touch reveals (]} that it is hard
which is the characteristic of the earth * dement ; (2) that it is cold
which is the characteristic of the heat element ; (3) that it is resistant
to the touch which is the characteristic of the wind * dement.
The cohesion of the above three elements is the characteristic of the
water* element. The sense of sight reveals that it. is visible which

is the characteristic of the visible object element. The sense of
odour reveals that it lias some odour which is the characteristic of
the odour element/ The sense of taste reveals that it lias a slight
taste which is the characteristic of the- taste dement. And since it
has some nutritive vat no it- has the characteristic of the nutriment
dement. This piece of wood may be split up into its ultimate
components such ns protons, electrons, etc., but these still consist
of the eight elements.
All tilings sail! to be man i mate invariably consist of groups of
these eight inseparable material elements. Kadi carries out ilfl
own function but does not assist the other dements in carrying out
their own functions. However, they are dependent upon one another
for their arising in accordance with the co-nascencc* mutuality,
support, presence and no n-disappeara nee conditions of the Patfiuma,
For example, dependent upon the earth element, the remaining
three primary elements, heat, wind and water arise ; dependent on
the three primary elements, earth, heat and wind, the v. ater element
arises ■ dependent on two primary elements, the remaining two
primary elements- arise. Again, dependent on the four primary
elements, there arise visibility, odour,, taste and nutriment, whieu
belong to the twenty-four derived elements of matter aggregate,
in accordance with the comascenoe, support, presence and non-
disappearance conditions of the FatfLhf ia -
All things aud to he animate consist of material and mental
elements comprising [1) 28 material qualities such as the eight
inseparable elements given above, the live senses, masculinity,
femininity, bodily and verbal intimations; (2) -52 mental factors
&uch as feeling, perception, intention* attention* appheo thoug.it,
sustained thought* decision, greed, wrong views, conceit* anger,
envy, stinginess, worry, restlessness, delusion, shame* fear^faitn,
mindfulness* non-greed, amity, knowledge, sympathy* and (3) con-
sciousness. Only the appropriate material and mental elements arise
together on each occasion. As said before, only an Enlightened
Buddha perceives each one of them at the same time. Others, who
know how to observe them practically, perceive only the predominant
element. For example, when greed arises in one s continuity other
material and mental elements also arise but only greed is observed.
It is possible to observe another mental element accompanying
greed when it is looked for in succeeding mental groups of greed.
When greed, anger or mental joy is predominantly manifested in

another person it is conventionally Raid that he is greedy angry
or happy, The details about these dements cannot be given here
but are to be found in the AbhidJiammiL,

The elements, bet tig abstract qualities. are empty Find void of
substance. Since Only ihnse elements reel] y exist, no no| unsubstantial
things arc to be found outride litem. So, in the ultimate sense,
there are no such tilings hut. only the obstruct dementa. But in
conventional |:tngi.uige it has to be said that inanimate t hings ere
made up of tight material elements. Most people, ignorant of the
nnttiitof elements, interpret this to mean that substantial m animate
tilings exist built up of the eight dements. This belief baa come
about partly owing to a lack of proper knowledge of the conscious-
ness dements.
The b sense -cansci ousness elements and the mind element art
conscious of sense objects which are mater ini demen ta. Mi nd -
consciousness element, however, is. conscious of objects of thought
which are cither of the past, present or future, materia] or mental,
real or imaginary. All these consciousness dements occur in mental
processes, A menial process of ficnse-consciousness clement is
followed by several mental processes of mind- consciousness element.
For example, after the mental process of eye -consciousness element,
which can only have a visible object element ns object, several
mental p] occsscs of mind-consciousness element follow : the objects
taken separately and in succession (1) ike past visible object
dcioent that was taken in parts by eye- consciousness demerit ;
(2) the visible object element taken as a whole ; (3) the form and
assorted solid object ; (4) the name of the object The first and
second objects are the true, abstract elements but the third and
fourth objects are just concepts and terms respectively. It has to be
remembered that visible object element simply carries out its charac-
teristic function of visibility. It does not carry out the function
(which is that of mind- consciousness dement) of collecting together
to give form and solidity. Nor do the elements carry out the function
of naming. Therefore only mind-consciousness element is conscious
of the concepts of form, solidity and terms which do net really
exist. For, according to AbhtdLstnma, there are no solid substances
.TLSV]
Dtsamrsc on Kin merit*
but only these dements carrying out their eh iu ac ter is tic f unction s.
But a bee t bey occur in varying degrees and quantities, distinctions
are made between the various solid form concept taken as objects
by mind-consciousness dement and given names such as tree,
mountain, sun, inocoi, star, etc. The explanation has been unnvosi •
ably brief but it should give an idea elbow tliis belief in the existence
of a world of inanimate things has come to be accepted. Similarly,
living beings, persons, men and women am! their names are concepts
Liken up as objects of mind-consciousness dement as the result of
the manifestations, of material and mental elements that are mere
qualities.

The Elements are Vo in of Ait A
When the proper conditions arc present, the dements arise and
cairv out their respective functions. There is no atta, i.c. no ego-
entity, soul, self, or I, that is independent of these elements ami con-
trolling them. The Brahmajfik Suita describes how this belief
in atta came about ; it then goes on to say that later some hereto
took the view that when M aha- IV a bird created beings he put
a part of himsdf, which they called atta, into their bodies ; that it
v.-aa this atta which has the characteristic of (1) doer" because
It performs all actions and causes happiness and suffering , (*)
“ controller " because the physical and mental elements m beings
have to accede to its wish es ; (5) “ In dependence " because it does
not follow the dictates of tbc physical and men tel elements m beings ;
[4) il ruler tf because it governs the physical and mental^ elements
in beings- (5) "lord" because it in the master; (G) “ substan-
tiality “ because it cannot be destroyed by any means. This 'view
of atta, held by heretics, is opposed to the view that elements are
empty and void of atta.
* . * *
Two Kinds of Atta
1. The Buddha, in the light of right understanding, did not
reject the conventional mode of speech. He. explained that atta
(or self) is a conventional term used -to denote toe combination o
Prf J^ xxvii
five kltandiui or aggregates. It is used In this aenac in the
Attn-vaggft of Dhammapada,
lEie Buddha, in the light of heretical views, rejected the attiL
(or self) view held by heretics.
Tjie Elements a ilk Void or 3li-:r
J iie dementi do Dot possess the diaractcristic functions of living
hemr-s. They arise, and cease within an exceedingly K |^ r t p Cr i (>1 i
of time. In Lite wink of an eye or a flash of lightning, which lusts
tor a microsecond (]Q -i second J, the mental dements arise mid cca.-ie
a t rillion (10 |; ) Limes. This is just an estimate The subcomnicHtary
tikes the higher figure of 1G 3S , Thus the mental dements arise
and cease I0 31 X 10“ = 10 2 ' times perseeond. Their extremely short
duration is also mentioned in the Anguttara Nihhyn. As regards
' material elements, since they endure for 17 thought-momenta
diey arise and cease — (app - 58.^23,^30,000,000,000,000) times
per second. But because the functions of the elements give rise to
the concepts of continuity, collection and form the ideas arise of
(1) the initial effort that has to be exerted when a deed is about
to be performed and (2) the care that has to be taken while the
deed is being performed to its completion. Arid this leads to the
subsequent ideas (3) “I can perform " and (4) “ I can feel ,! . Thus
these 4 imaginary characteristic functions of being have brought
about a deep-rooted belief in their existence. But the dements have
not the time or span of duration to cany out such functions.
* * *
The Elements aee Void oe Life
The dements arise and cease without any movement taking
place. The life characteristics of the dements arc physical life,
psychical life, heat produced by kfunma and mental life-continuum!
These arise/ and cease as stated above. When they cease and do not
a rise again in the present existence this is known as death. But
because the concepts of walking, speaking, breathing and other
physical actions can he performed without assistance, it is imagined

INTRODUCTION
The Buddha is snsd to have expounded the A bh ad ham nun in
Tavatimsa, the abode of the. 'XI devas, Dhaiii'kathii was the Aubjecl
of discourse following Vibhuriga, Therefore* its coiiEcnta form Uni
third hook of the AblndhaTiitiiii Pitaka. JJhatu (element) is defined
im that which hears ita own nature. Thus n|] the states of enquiry
of the test beginning with the Aggregates and eliding with the
couplet on laTiieiitatio.il come under the clemen Is. This also implies
that elements arc not living be tugs and arc not concerned with Lhem.
Dltiitu-kathil (Discourse on Elements) deals wills the classification,
urictasaifirjition, association and dissociation of Llie above stales
of enquiry with reference to the three categories of 5 aggregates,
l'.J bases Aral IS elements, Although these elements arc expounded
in Die Dhnmtmisaiigant and VibhsdigA* they are not treated exclu-
sively and in detail there as they arc in tins text.
A literal translation of the Dhatu-katha is simple enough but
unless the Trailers have mastered the relevant port! mis of the first
two A bind h amnia texts, the Dhammasaftgani and Viblinnga, they
will not be able to understand it by themselves. flo, in order to
help them, charts and explanations arc provided at the end of each
chapter. First of nil, the reader must know the analytical units
of the stales of enquiry of the text find the general system of chis-
fufication of these units under the aggregates, bases and elements.
This information is provided after the translation of Chapter I
by the Chart and the Internal and External Tables. In the latter
tables* the analytical units arc given bo as to show why a state is
classified and unclassified under the given aggregates, bases and
element. Unless a proper study is made of this. Chapter* it will
be of no use to proceed further with the text. Then in the following
four chapters, where the states of enquiry arc compared with other
states, it is necessary to know what “ these states hf and “ those
states ” stand for. This is the most difficult part of the text. The.
Charts and Explanations show the methods* give reasons why
certain states of enquiry are dealt with in a particular chapter, and
reveal what these states " and “ those states *’ stand for. This is
also done for the association of states with and dissoc iation of states
from the aggregates, bases and elements in Chapters VI to X and
for the remaining four chapters which are combinations of classifica-
tion* undassiiicaLion* association and dissociation.

Tim text consists of two parts, (1) the Table of Contents and
{2] the Catechetical Exposition, The first part lists not only the.
methods and 1 1< c subject, matter but also the bases of the methods.
It gives a ci outline of the treatment of the test under the headings :
(1) Methods, (2) Internal States of Enquiry, (3) Principles of the
Methods, (d) Characteristics of the Methods, and (fi) External States
of Enquiry' .
(!) Met hails: This gives the IfsL of the. 11 methods which are
discussed, chapiter by chapter, in the catechetical exposition which
forms the main body of the text,
(2) internal Slates oj Ewpitry : This gives a table of J 05 states
of enquiry which are traced together as a group only in the Dliatu-
katliEi. In the Vibhaisga they arc found scattered here and there,
lienee they are known as the internal states of enquiry in tins text.
It will be noted that instead of 12, there arc 28 .states of dependent
origination. This is because (l) 10 becomings arc included under
rebirth ‘becoming and (2) ageing, death, sorrow and the 4 states
ending with despair arc taken separately.
The 4 applications of mindfulness and so on up to the Noble
Eightfold Path are each dealt with as a group and taken as one state
of enquiry.
The contact group of 7 consists of some of the primary mental
factors which, though they already' have been included m dependent
origination aud othcrc, are again taken na separate states of enquiry
because they arc associated with every mental grouping. The two
remaining primary mental factors, psychical life and one-pom Eedness,
arc excluded uccause in the case of psychical life, physical life
(materiality) is involved and in the ease of one -pointedness, it is
not associated with every mental grouping nor with a great number
of them when it is considered under two kinds, the common and the
special. The common kind which is associated with twice fivefold
sense consciousness 10, doubt associated consciousness 1, mind
dement 3, investigation consciousness 3 d he- 17 types of conscious-
ness, is different from the one-potntedness factor of the 5 strengths,
the special kind which is associated with the remaining 72 types of
consciousness.
Decision is not a primary mental factor but is included in the
contact group because it is associated with the greatest number of
mental groupings. (78 types of consciousness).
(3) Principles of the Methods : This shows that all the states of
Inlroduclwn

enquiry (1) are to be class jfted and unclassified under the 3 cate-
gor lea of aggregates, Imacaaiul dements. This is net possible with
other categories such ns troths, faculties, etc, ; (2J arc to be issoti-
ated with and dissociated from the 1 iiicnta] aggregates, Materiality
and Nibbatra arc not considered because the two arc neither
mutually associated nor dissociated and are always dissociated from
tho 4 mental aggregates.

(5) External Slates of Enquiry : All the 22 triplets and 10<>
couplets dealt with m the text are also the states of cncjiurj of ^j.c
B hammasangani and are not peculiar to the Bhatu-kitliii, Hence
they arc known as the external states of enquiry.
The Catechetical lixiusiTJON
In the Abhidkmima the ultimate realities, which are merely
abstract qualities, are dealt with iu an exhaustive and comprehen-
sive manner. And in the Dhatu -hatha they are treated under the
three categories of aggregates, bases and dements. These are
explained in detail in AbhidhainiYia Vibhauga. I here are no desci ip
tions of beings, persons, men, women, trees, mountains, oceans,
etc. as in the Suttaa where conventional language is employed,
for it is held that these things, both inanimate and animate, are mere
terms and concepts based on the ultimate realities and have no
real existence whatsoever.
The inanimate things which are known its trees, mountains,
stones, etc, are, in reality, eight material qualities winch come under
matter aggregate, 5 bases and !> elements. As regards animate
things, when a person h said to have :
JCXX1V
Discctumc on fCtcmcnts
(1) A fair or brown complexion, this refers to the ultimate)
material quality, tlie visible object element* which comes
oncer matter aggregate, vlslLIc object base nod visible
object element,
(2) A smooth or rough skin, tins refer? to the ultimate material
quality, the earth element, which comes under matter
aggregate, tangible object base and tangible object element-
al) A good voice, this refers to the ultimate material quality,
sound element, which comes binder matter aggregate, sound
base and sound element.
Again, when a person is said :
( 1 ) To be happy or sad, this refers to the ultimate mental quality,
the mental factor of feeling, which comes under feeling
aggregate, cognizable base and cognizable element.
(2) To have a good or bad memory, this refers to the ultimate
mem tad quality, the mental factor of perception, which
comes under perception aggregate, cognisable base and
cognizable element.
(3) To be thinking, speaking or acting ; to be greedy, angry,
bewildered, envious, etc., those refer to the ultimate
mental realities which arc part of the- f>0* mental factors
of mental formation which come under mental formation
aggregate, cognizable base and cognizable element.
Also when a person is said to he :
(l) Looking at the cinema, this refers to the ultimate mental
reality, eye-consciousness, which comes under consciousness
aggregate, mind base and eye-conociousncss element,
{2) Listening to the radio, this refers bo the ultimate mental
reality, sound-consciousness, winch comes under con-
sciousness aggregate, mind base and car-consciousness
element.
(3) Smelhng a rose, this refers to the ultimate mental reality,
' nose-eonseioLisiicss, which comes under consciousness
aggregate, mind base and no sc -cot is clous a ess clement,
(4) Eating cakes, this refers to the ultimate mental reality,
tongue- consciousness, which comes., under consciousness
aggregate, mind base and tongue- consciousness element.
* These have been erptained in the Dhaiiins^auiig^nJ.

(5) Touching the table, this refers to the ultimate men tut reality,
body consciousness, which cornea under consciousness
aggregate, mind busc and body-conacinusiLcss element.
[0) Thinking of ei problem, this refers to the ultimate mental
reality, tnind-couaekiiianm, which conies miner const ious-
ness aggregate, mind Iwi-te and mind consciousness ih-mcTit.
The majority of people, because of perverted notions, thoughts
and views, really believe in the existence of the inanimate world of
eon crete things and the animate world of beings and ko thw think,
apeak and act accordingly. They also assume that there r-i a
possessor of the mind, physical body and external tilings arid a
performer of deeds, and mistake (mns and concepts for realities.
It is the purpose of the first chapter of this text. to dispel these
wrong beliefs about persona and L lungs by revealing that the
aggregates, bases and dements are the only things which real I v
exist.
I. Class teJCATiox a:;d Unclassificatiok
There are i kinds of classification, namely :
(1) Rank or Class, e.g, kings, brahmas, ministers, etc. Also
the group of morality (virtue), the classes of which arc
right speech, right action and right livelihood.
(2) Origin or Source, e.g. people of Kosala, of Magadba. Also
the group of concentration, the sources of which are right
effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.
(3) Profession or Function, e.g, mahouts, horsemen., carpenters.
Also the group of .wisdom, the functions of which are right
understanding and right planning.
(4) Is umber, e.g. Matter aggregate is classified under 1 aggregate,
11. bases and 11 elements, the numbers being specified.
R is this numerical clarification which, is employed here. The
numbers of the aggregates, bases and elements under which a stale
of enquiry is classified is given and the remaining numbers of the
aggregates, bases and elements are those which arc unclassified.
Each of the 371 states of enquiry of the text, is classified and un-
classified in this manner. The Method and Explanation of this first
chapter are given after the translation as has been, done with the
13 chapters that follow,

Rased upon the first chapter there are i ehuptera concerned wit!,
classified and unclassified slates and they go in the follow mg
order :
(1) The classified statca form the basis for a pair of unclassified
States, i.c. classified and unclassified.
(2) Tbe unclassified states form the basis for a pair 01 classified
stiU:fl, i.e, unclassified and classified.

pi) Tbe unclassified states form the basis for li pair of undusiuhed
states, i.c. unclassified and unclassified.
This method of exposition is employed to provide ay sterna tie
a Eid complete information about the ultimate realities from one
particular aspect. Examples of this method are also found m the
Yamaha and Pi^tliEna testa. For instance, the Khandha-yumuka
has a catechetical section about (1) those in whom the matter
aggregate doer, arise but not the feeling aggregate; H those in
whom the feeling aggregate does arise but not the matter aggregate ;
P} those in whom both the matter and feeling aggregates t, o an. - ,
(i) those in whom both the matter ana feeling aggregates t o
arise The treatment ia in respect of person, plane of existence and
both person and plane of existence. And, with regard to the con-
dition-dependent states, the Patthana has a catcdicticni section
about fl) those stated that arc dependent on root condition but
not on object condition ; (2) those states that are dependent on
object condition but not on root condition; (3) those states that
are dependent on both root and object conditions ; (4) those states
that are not dependent on both root and object conditions,
m the chapter on investigations, the catechetical section a oil
f 1) those .states that are- root condition but not predominance
condition; (2) those states that are predominance condition but
not root condition ; (3) those states that arc both root and pre-
dominance conditions ; (4) those states that are not root and

innumerable sections on conditions.

II. Classified and Unclassified
' Tbti second chapter deals with the states tliut arc classified
under the same aggregate but not under the came base or dement,
and n Iso with Liam: states that are classified under Lire same aggre-
gate and blew- but not under the same dement. Tins method is
iL(»pticEib]c- only to 37 states of materiality which arc classified under
the same aggregate ami 7 states of mentality which are classified
under the same aggregates nd base. Thus t J 2 states out of Uic LoLut of
371 stnU’-s of enquiry in the first chapter form tire subject matter
in tins cilsi.:,
The five aggregates cannot be subjects of enquiry because cadi
is a sejiuraLe aggregate and could never be classified. under the
H?.mc aggregate. For instance, if matter aggregate is the subject
of enquiry, it will have to lie compared with one of the remaining
four mental aggregates. Matter aggregate comes under matter
aggregate and the mental aggregates come under their own respective
aggregates, such as feeling aggregate, perception aggregate, etc.,
und they could never be classified under the same aggregate as
required by this method. This is also the case if any other aggregate
is the subject of enquiry.
The states of enquiry consist. .of 10 gross bases, 10 gross dements
and 7 consciousness elements and others that come under one of
them. Mind base, cognizable base and cognizable element arc
excluded. Mind base consists of £9 types of eonsdouan css comprising
consciousness aggregate and, as explained above, aggregates cannot
be the subjects of enquiry. Similarly for cognizable base and
cognizable element which consist of subtle matter 16, mental factor*
52 and Mibbana, all of which come under matter, feeling, perception
and mental formation aggregates except Nibbana which is aggregate-
freed. This tteII be readily understood if reference is made to the
Chart of Chapter I and for similar reasons it will be seen also that
the rest of the 32£+ states of enquiry' are excluded ns well.
The pah of unclassified, states have reference to the states of
comparison which are not classified under : —
( 1 ) The same base and the same dement Or tinder the same element
o Oder which the state of enquiry is classified.
(2) The 3 categories of aggregates, bases and elements.

1 1 I. Unclassified and Classified
The third chapter deals with t.hc states that tire not classified
under the Mime Aggregate but are classified u rider the flame base
and same dement. This method m applicable only to DO states, out
of the total of 37] states of enquiry, The 3 mental factor aggregates,
i.e. feeling, perception and mental formation aggregates:, arc included
but not matter and consciousness aggregates. Although matter
aggregate is not classified with the 1 remaining aggregates or with
any one of them, it cannot- be classified with any of those aggregates
under the same base and the same dement. For matter aggregate
is classified under 1 1 bases and 11 elements whereas the other aggre-
gates cannot bo classified under id I these: bases and elements as
requited in this system of classification. Similarly for consciousness
aggregate which is also not classified with the other 4 aggregates or
with any one of them under the same aggregate. For consciousness
aggregate is classifier] under mind base and 7 consciousness elements,
whereas the others arc classified under the remaining 1L bases and
11 elements. Thus classification with the other aggregates under
the same base and same element i« not- possible. For similar reasons,
the 12 bases , IS elements and the rest of the 28 1 states of enquiry
are excluded. In the cose of cognizable base, parts of it, such os
feeling, perception, mental formation, subtle matter and Nibbiina
arc included but not the base taken as a whole.
The pair of classified states have reference to the states of com
parison which are classified under :—
(1) The same base and the same element under which the state
of enquiry is classified,
(2) The 3 categories of aggregate bases acid elements.
IV. Classified and Classified
The fourth chapter deals with two cases of classified states under
the same aggregate, the same base and the same element ; (1) with
the state of enquiry and the states under comparison ; (2) when they
are interchanged. This method is applicable to 69 states which are
the parts of mental formation aggregate, of the 5 feeling faculties, of
subtle matter and of three kinds of audible object. The remaining
302 states arc not applicable.
The five aggregates are excluded because each of them comes
Introduction xxxtx
under a separate aggregate and so they could never be classified
under the name aggregate. And so also the bases, c.g. eye-base
which is classified with the other states of materiality under the
janic aggregate but nob under the same base and the name element.
The reasons for excluding the. ether stales can be investigated.
The pair of classified sUt.es have reference to the. stale of enquiry
which is cJissifted under : —
{[) The same aggregate, Lite same base and the same element ax
the slates under cum pun sou.
[ L 2) The 3 categories of aggregates, bases and elements.
V. UptCi.ask t di ]■: 1 > a xii U?;cLAS£int:i>
The fifth chapter deals with two eases of unclassified states under
ibe eamc aggregate, the same base and the same element. They
are (I) tl*; elate of enquiry with the states of comparison, and
(2) the latter states of comparison with all other possible states.
This method is applicable to 21)7 stales of enquiry which are & part
of the aggi^firtes or those that stand for jKibbatia.
Those slates which include both subtle matter and consciousness
aggregate, such as " States not visible and not impinging ” arc
excluded. The latter consists of consciousness S9, mental factors
63, nubile matter 16, Nibbami. These come under the 5 aggregates
and, therefore, there are no other aggregates to be taken as states
of comparison for undassification under the same aggregate. Here
the only remaining states are gross, matter which comes under
matter aggregate. Suffering truth also comes under the 15 aggre*
gates and is also excluded. For the same reason, the rest of the 111
states are excluded.
The second verse of the Mnemonic is met that of the states of
enquiry of the chapter but of the 22 states storting with matter
aggregate which have the same question and answer.
The pair of unclassified states has reference to the other possible
eta tea, mentioned above, which are unclassified under : —
(1] The Borne aggregate, the same, base and the same element
with the states of comparison.
(2) The 3 categories of aggregates, bases and elements.

VL Association and Dissociation
l l |fl chapter deals with the states that arc associated with
iir.d dissociated troin the aggregates, bases and elements, Only
I s'iC 4 mental aggregates arc mutually associated at a time in ends
continuity in accordance with the association condition of Patthana.
Jil this text materiality ig dissociated from the 4 mental aggre-
gates, hibbanit is dissociated from the 4 mental aggregates, tlio
■i mental aggregates are dissociated from materiality and ftibbiiiin.
Jiut In the Pattbiina materiality is dissociated from mentality and
mentality is i nssociatcd from materiality. It is there stated
" Materiality is related to mentality by way of dissociation con-
dition, Mentality ia related to materiality by way of dissociation
condition
.Ui is method ra appb (able to 25€ states which are (1) pure
materiality, (2) Nibbumi, <3} pure mental aggregates, (4} con-
sciousness involved with both materiality and Nibbuna and (5)
purUi of the mental factor aggregates. Those states which are
(i) consciousness involved with materiality, (2) consciousness

deluded.
0:lo of the states mentioned in the Mnemonic as not being
included in this chapter is cognizable base. This comprises subtle
matter 16, mental i actors 52 anil ddbb&iia anti therefore it has no
associated states, Again, though subtle matter and Nibbana, are
dissociated from the 4 mental aggregates, the 52 mental factors are
associated with consciousness aggregate and, therefore, cognizable
base is not totally dissociated. The other states of the Mnemonic
arc similar to cognizable base in that they arc not totally associated
or totally dissociated.
Parti a l Association anj> Partial Dissociation
d. hen the state of enquiry is mentality, the associated states
are the mental factors of cognizable base and is therefore partial] v
associated with tins base. On the other hand, the dissociated states
are materiality and Nibbatm of cognizable base and are therefore
partially dissociated from this base. If the state of enquiry is a part,
of mental formation aggregate, 'then it is associated with the latter
aggregate of cognizable base and is, therefore, partially associated
wich this base. When materiality and Jlibbana are the states of

factors of cognizable base and they arc, tlicrofore, partially dissoci-
ated fro] ii ibis Iieiso. The detailed explanation ta given in the
Explanation of the Method and Chart of Chapter VI,
Tick i Giiae-tkiis Based on Cdaitkh VI
Rased on Chapter VI, there arc 4 chapters concerned with
associated arid dissociated states and they go in the foil owing order
ns given for classified him I unclassified states : —
(1) The associated slates form the basis for a pair of dissocial ed
states, i.c. associated and dissociated.
(2) The dissociated states form the basis for a pair of associated
states, i,c. dissociated and associated,
(3} The associated stated form the basis for a pair of associated
states, i.c. associated and associated.
(4) The dissociated states form the basts for a pair of dissociated
states, i.c. dissociated and dissociated.
VII. Associated asd Dissociated
The seventh chapter deals with the dissociation of the states
associated with the state of enquiry. This method is applicable to
37 states of enquiry which are mental factors cither niKOciated (1)
with the seven consciousness elements ; (2) with both mind dement
and .lind-consciousuess element, or which arc pare consciousness
aggregate. The remaining 334 states of enquiry arc excluded.
Materiality is one of them because it is not associated with any
ntato.
In tho previous chapter, states of enquiry which arc not associated
with other states but are oidy dissociated can be considered because
separate questions arc ashed about tbe^associated and dissociated
states. Here, only those states of enquiry which are both associated
with or dissociated from other states can be considered because
this chapter deals with dissociation of associated states. If there
were no associated states, then there could not be dissociation. If
Chapter VI is understood, then this chapter find the others that
follow will be. clear.

The eighth chapter deals ^lL-U the association of the states
dissociated from the state of enquiry. Tins method is applicable to
324 states of enquiry which are pure materiality, Nibbana, and
mental aggregates and, those that involve both materiality and
mentality bat arc dissociated. The remaining 17 states of enquiry,
which are excluded, are given in the Mnemonic,
Tt will be found that all the questions have negative answers.
Matter aggregate is dissociated from the 4 mental aggregates, But
these mental aggregates are not associated with any state, i.e, with
any aggregate, base and element and the answer to this question
is negative. Also feeling aggregate is dissociated from materiality
and Kibbana but the latter two are not associated with any state
and the answer is negative.
Cognizable base is not included because it comprises subtle
matter 16, mental factors 52 and Nibbana. These are not dissociated
from or associated with other states. For similar reasons the other
states- arc excluded.
Here there are no pairs of associated states since the states
dis xiiated from the state of enquiry are not associated with any
state.
IX. Associated and Associated
The ninth chapter deals with two cases or associated states :
(1) with the state of enquiry and the states of comparison, and
(2) when they arc interchanged. This method is applicable to 120
states of enquiry which are a part of mental aggregate. For example,
feeling aggregate is associated with the other 3 mental aggregates
and the latter are associated with feeling aggregate. The remaining
251 states of enquiry which are Nibbana., pure materiality and
materiality that is involved with mentality are excluded. For
example, pure materiality has no associated states.

With the end of Chapter XlY the catechetical exposition of the
Dbatu-katha text is concluded. The subject has been systematically
and exhaustively expounded by the Buddha, as is the case with
the other Abhidhanuma subjects, and there is nothing that needs to

Explanation of the Method and Chart of Chap for I
Subject Mailer : All the 371 states of enquiry of the Dhatukatba,
which arc either pure materiality, mental factor, consciousness and
Nib ban a or a combination of them, form the subject matter of this
chapter. Each state of enquiry is classified under aggregates, bases
and dements and the remaining aggregates, bases and elements out-
of a total of 5 aggregates/! 2 bases and IS elements arc those under
which it is not classified. The 371 states include all the 105 internal
states of enquiry listed in the Internal Tables and nil the fib triplets
and 20Q couplets which arc the external states, of enquiry listed in
the External Tables,

The Chart : The chart shows the classification of the 2 ft states of
mutter aggregate, 52 mental factors, Nibb-ina and SO types of eon-
scioiLSitcss under aggregates, bases and elements. The *K states of
matter aggregate are divided into grass matter 12 and subtle matter
]G us the former comes under 10 gross b;wex (eye base, ear base —
tangible object base) and under 10 gross elem eats (eye eloineut, cur
demeut — tangible <>S.3ject, element) and the latter tomes under
ongiihuhlc base find under cognizable element, Subtle matter H\
men [at factors 52 and Nibbana Come lender cognizable mid
under eogi i i zah J e element.
It,, is seen from the ebart that : —
(] ) sensitive eye is classified under matter aggregate, under eye base
imtl mad er ey e eleu id 1 1 ( read do 1 w a the same column of tl i ( ■ el j u r L) ;
(2) greed, which is one of the 50 states of mental formation aggre-
gate, b classified under mental formation aggregate, under
cognisable base and under cognizable clement ;
(3) hate-rooted consciousness, which 13 one of the remain mg 70 types
of consciousness* is classified under consciousness aggregate,
under mind base and under mind -consciousness element.
A thorough acquaintance with tins chart is of fundamental import-
ance because the classification taf aggregates, bases and elements
shown therein forms the basis of all the methods given in the
M chapters of this Discourse on Elements (Dhatu -hatha).
Unless the hinds of Aggregates, bases and elements under which
each state of enquiry is classified is known, their numbers, as
provided in the Text* cannot be found out, And to be. able to classify
cacIl state of enquiry in this manner, its analytical com pouents under
the heads of matter* mental factor, consciousness and Kibbana
must be known. This can be found in the DhamniasangauT but
for ready reference it is given in the Internal and External Tables
that follow. The following examples are provided to show, with the
aid of the chart, the application of the information given in those
tables to the classification of the states of enquiry under the kinds
and numbers of aggregates, bases and elements.

Subject Matter : 42 states form the subject matter of ibis chapter.
35 of these, each of which Is only a part of matter aggregate, can
be classified with the other parts of matter aggregate {known as
" these states ” in the tact) under the same aggregate (matter
aggregate) but not under the same base and under the same element.
The remaining 7, each of which is a part of consciousness aggregate,
can be classified with the other parts of consciousness aggregate
(known as “ these states w in the text) under the same aggregate
(consciousness aggregate) and under the same base (mind base) but
not under the sam e element. All the remaining states ot enquiry
of the text are excluded' because they comprise the whole of
materiality and mentality, and cannot, therefore, be classified in
this manner. Out of the 42 states 37 belong to the internal and
5 to the external tables which give all the states of enquiry cf the
text. i, - . .. i. , /i '

the remaining 27 physical states of matter aggregate are taken as
“ these states ”♦ For instance, when the eye base 1 is dealt with,
the remaining 27 physical states arc taken as “ these states . Only
then can the eye base be classified with the remaining 2 j physical
states under the same aggregate as all these physical states come

same base and under the same element as the eye base comes under
eye base and under eye element whereas the remaining 27 physical
states come under other bases and under Other dements, -o the
cases of tangible object base and tangible object element, each of
which' consists of the 3 primary physical states* earth, heat and wind,
the remaining 25 physical states of matter aggregate are taken as

physical states, arc not classified under the remaining 4 aggregates
(feeling, perception, mciit&f formation and consciousness aggregates),
under the remaining 2 bases (eye base and mind base) and under the
remaining 8 elements (eye element and 7 consciousness elements).
This has to be similarly applied to all" those states ” in the other
questions and answers.
How to read the Chart ; Take the eye base ns an illustration.
Eye base is classified with these states (the remaining 27 physical
states of matter aggregate) under the amne aggregate (matter
aggregate), but not classified under the same base (eye base) and
under the same, element (eye dement).
Under how many aggregates, under how many bases and under
how many elements arc those states (the remaining 27 physical
states of matter aggregate) not classified 1 They are not classified
under 4 aggregates (feeling, perception, mental formation and
consciousness aggregates), under 2 bases (eye base and mind base)
and under 8 elements (eye element and 7 consciousness elements).
Next comes the nose base 1 which is omitted in the text. Nose
base h classified with these states (the remaining 27 physical states
of matter aggregate) under the same aggregate (matter aggregate)
but not classified under the same base (nose base) and under the
same element (nose dement).
Under bow many aggregates, under how many bases and under
how many elements are those states (the remaining 27 physical
states of matter aggregate) not classified ? They are not classified
under 4 aggregates (feeling, perception, mental formation and
consciousness aggregates), under 2 bases (nose b sc and mind base)
and under 8 clem cuts (nose element and 7 consciousness elements).
The other gross bases and gross elements are to be dealt with
separately in a' similar manner. In the ca.se of tangible object,
which consists, of earth, heat and wind, the remaining £5 physical

Explanation of .the Method and Chart of Chapter III
Subject Matter : 90 states that come under cognizable base, i.c.
subtle matter, feeling, perception, mental formation ana Nib ban a,
form the subject matter of this chapter. These are the states which
can be classified under Hie same base and under the same clement
but not under the same aggregate.* All the remaining states of the
Text are excluded because they include gross matter and conscious-
ness. The former comes under different bases and different elements
while the latter cornea under different t'-elei nents. Oat of these
90 states, 50 belong to the internal and 45 to the external states of
enquiry. ■
Question^' and Answers : There are 12 sets of questions and
answers, Nos. 179-190. ■

“ These State j '.' : The rules for determining " these slates JJ art
as follows : —
]. When tho subject of enquiry belongs to one of tbo 5 states,
namely : subtle matter, feeling, perception, men tel formation an d
Nibbana, that come under cognizable base, the remains eg 4 states
nro taken as " these states lh . Since these 5 states come nuddr
different aggregates they cannot be classified under the same nggtc-
gates. But they come under cognizable base and under cognizable
element and, therefore, they can be classified under the same base
and under the same element. For example, when feeling ®-g£ negate
is dealt with, the remaining 4 states, subtle matter, perception,
mental formation and. Nibbana arc taken as these steles . ^ J he
feeling aggregate comes under feeling aggregate and the remaining
4 states come under different aggregates and so they cannot be
classified under the same aggregate. But feeling aggregate comes
under cognizable base and under cognizable dement and to do tho
remaining 4 states. Thus they can be classified under the same base
and under the same dement.
The case where, like the feeling aggregate in Mo. 1 7 9, the remaining
4 states are taken as 11 these states " J applies also to hi os. 1S0 3
184, 1SS, m, 1ST and 190, 77 states of enquiry are dealt with in
this case. In Nos. 180 and 185, wlicre Nibbana is the state of
enquiry, it roust be remembered that Nibbana is excluded from the
classification of aggregates.
2, When the subject of enquiry belongs to 2 cut of the 5 states
under cognizable base, the remaining -3 states are taken as these
states This is the cose with Nos. 181 and 183 where & states of
enquiry are dealt "with.
Life faculty in No. 181 consists of both physical and psychical
life, the former comes under subtle matter and the latter under
mental formation. Bo the remaining 3 states, feet mg, perception and
Nibbana are taken as “ these states ",
Birth, Ageing and Heath in No. 183 refer to both materiality and
mentality where the former comes under subtle matter and the
latter under mental formation and so " these states are the same
as in life-faculty above.
Jhana in No. 183 consists of applied-thought, sustained-thought,
rapture,, blisis and one-pointedness of mind, liliss is feeding and thu
rest are mental formations. Bo the remaining 3 states, subtle matter,
perception and Nibbana are taken as <£ these states ,

Two truths, fifteen faculties, eleven dependent originations,
Next eleven, thirty kinds belonging to dusters.
Explanation of the Method and Churl of Chapter IV
Subject Matter : 69 states that are the parts of mental formation
aggregate, 5 feeling faculties, subtle matter and 3 kinds of audible
object form the subject matter of this chapter, .Each of them can be
classified with other states in the same category (the first of £l these
states ” in the chart) under the same aggregate, under the same
base and under the same element, Anil because they belong to the
same aggregate, the same base and the same dement, the states
under comparison can be interchanged and classified in the same way
as shove. Out of the 09 states, 39 belong to the internal and 30 to
the external states of enquiry.
lAese Skites " : The rules for determining *' these states M are
as follows : —
1- When one of the bO states of the mental formation aggregate
is the state of enquiry, the remaining 49 elates, which also come
under the same aggregate, under the same base and under the same
dement, are taken as the first M these states *\ On interchanging,
tfic state of enquiry is taken as the second " these states Foe
example, when Origin truth is dealt with, the remaining 49 states
of the mental formation aggregate arc taken as the first “ these
states . Both Origm truth and the 49 states which come under
mental formation aggregate, under cognizable base and under
cognizable element can be classified under the same aggregate,
under the same base and nndcr the same element. On interchanging,
the 49 states are chiasified with Origin truth, the state of enquiry,
which is taken as the second ci these states ” under the same aggre-
gate, under the same base and under the same element as m the
first case. This ia shewn in the second <L these states * f column of
the chart.
In the ease of I*ath truth, only the Suprarotmdanc Eightfold Path
is associated, with 4 Path consciousness. Since the mundane Eight-
fold Path associated with wholesome consciousness and others is
Classified and Classified GO
eiot included, the 50 states of mental formation aggregate are taken
Eia " these states ”,
In the cases of the a Lutes which arc tools, etc,, the G roola are
excluded and 44 states of men tat formation aggregate are taken r&
“ these states 3S .
2 When one of 10 stales of subtle matter such els female faculty
is the state of enquiry, the remaining 15, which also come u ruler
matter aggregate, under cognizable base and under cognizable
element arc taken as the first "these is tales ” Then on interchanging ,
the state of enquiry is taken as the second ir these states 11 - This also
applies to male -faculty.
5. When one of the 5 feeling faculties such sis. bodily pleasure
fatuity b the stale of enquiry, the remaining 4 faculties, which also
conic under feeling aggregate, under cognizable lose and under
cognizable element, arc taken as the ft rat 4< these states h '- Then on
interchanging, the sLatc of enquiry is taken ns the second l£ these
states
4. When one of the Z kinds of audible object such as lamentation
is the state of enquiry, the remaining '2, which also come u cider
matter aggregate, sound base and sound element are taken as the
first “ these states Then on, interchanging, the state of enquiry
is taken as the second <£ these Elates ”,
" Those 'States " : The first and second “ those states " arc the
same on the states taken as the first and second these states
respectively. This can be seen from the chart,
H&w to read the Chari : Take Origin truth as an illustration.
Origin truth is classified with these states (the remaining 40 slates
of mental formation aggregate) under the same aggregate (mental
formation aggregate), under the same base (cognizable hose) and
under tbe same element (cognizable element). Those slates (the
remaining 40 states of mental formation aggregate) are classified
with these alatca (Origin truth) under the same aggregate (mental
formation aggregate), under the same base (cognizable base) and
under the same element (cognizable element).
Under how many aggregates, "under how many bases and under
how many elements arc those states ( Origin truth ) classified ? T hey
are classified under 1 aggregate (mental formation aggregate), under
1 base (cognizable base) and under 1 element (cognizable element).

Sidfj&J- Matter : 2fj7 states which are a part of the 5 aggregates
or those that stand for Nibbhna form the subject e natter of this
chapter. Those are the states that cannot he classified with other
states (known as the first “ these states 11 in the Chart) under the
same aggregate, under the same base am! under the same element.
Again the other stales (known sa those state " m the Chart)
cannot be classified with the posable state* (known ^ second
' r these states in the Chart) tinder the same aggregate, under the
same base ami under the same element, in the second imdsLssi float-ion.
Those states which include both subtle matter and consciousness
aggregate, cannot be treated in this manner and are therefore e>:
eluded. Out of the 257 statca, 99 belong to the internal and I5S
belong to the external states of enquiry.
r ’ These states " and “ those states '’ ; The rules for determining
" these states ” and " those states " are as follows :■ -
L When matter aggregate is the subject of enquiry, consciousness
aggregate, which docs not conic under the same aggrega te, under the
same base and under the same element, is taken as the first " these
state p \ Matter aggregate, unlike consciousness aggregate, coin os
under 1 aggregate (matter aggregate), under 11 , bases (10 gross
bases and cognizable base) and under 11 dements (10 gross dements
and cognizable element). So these form the first unclassified aggre-
gate* bases and elements. Then consciousness aggregate (the first
£ ' these states ”) becomes the first ** those state ” and the 28 physical
states of matter aggregate, feeling* perception, mental formations
and Kibbann, which do not come under the same aggregate, under
the same baste and under the same element, are taken as the second
“ these state ” (and then becomes the second those states "}.
The latter arc not classified under 1 aggregate (consciousness
aggregate), tinder 1 base (mind base) and under 7 elements
(consciousness elements). So they form the second unclassified
aggregates, bases and elements,

The classification and undassification under the aggregates, bases
and elements of tho states above have been given, m detail in this
first example. In the following examples,, this will be briefly indi-
cated but the details are given in the chart. They can also be found
by- reference to the classification of the states given in Chapter I.
2. When either feeling, perception, mental formations or Nihbana
is dealt with, the 12 gross physical states and consciousness aggre-
gate- are taken ns the first “these states JJ , (If the £3 physics]
states of matter aggregate are taken, then some of them, i.e. subtle
physical states, will come under the same base and under the same
element). When the first “ these states now taken ns the furS-L
,L those states ” are dealt with m turn, feeling, perception, mental
formations and Nihbana, which do not conic under the same
aggregate* under the same boat and under the same element, are
taken as the second “ these states 11 anti later becomes the second

3. When consciousness aggregate is dealt with, 23 physical states
of matter aggregate, feeling, perception, mental formations and
Nihbana. arc taken ns the first ,J these states Then when the
latter states taken ns the first “ those states " are dealt with,
consciousness aggregate, which docs not conic under the same
aggregate, under the same base and under the same clement is
taken as the second HH lb esc states 11 and later becomes the second
“ those states
■4-. When a gross physical state such as eye base is dealt with, the
4 mental aggregates and Nihbana are taken as (he first “these
states Then when the latter states taken ns the first “ those
states " arc dealt with in turn, tlic 12 gross physical states arc taken

When a subtle physical state such as female faculty is dealt with,
consciousness aggregate is taken as the first “ these states When
the latter state taken as the first “ those states “ is dealt with in

faculty is the flame as matter aggregate but it is not shown m the

formations and Nihbana are taken is' the first " these states ”.

When tho latter states taken as the fast " thoso states ” are dealt
with in turn, 12 gross physical states and consciousness aggregate
are taken as tho second ** these stales " and later as the second

G. When immaterial becoming, which comprises the tour mental
aggregates is dealt with, 12 gross physical states arc taken as the
first " these states ", When the laLtci states taken as the first
<J those stales 1 are dealt with in turn, the 4 mental aggregates anrl
N ibbunu are taken as the second " these states " and later as the
second those states
The Basic Rule \ When dealing with a particular sktte or states,
all the ether states that cannot be classified under the same aggre
gate, base and clement must bn taken as the comparative states.
How to read the Chart : Matter aggregate is taken as a a illustration.
Matter aggregate is not classified with these states (consciousness
aggregate) under the same aggregate (matter aggregate 1) under the
same base (10 gross bases and cognisable base, he. II) and under the
same element (10 gross elements and cognizable element, j.c, 11).
Those s Wiles [consciousness aggregate) are not classified with these
states (£5 physical states of matter aggregate, feeling, perception,
mental formations and Kibbana) under the name aggregate (con-
sciousness aggregate I ), under the same base (mind base 1) and under
the same, element (consciousness elements 7),
Under how many aggregates, under how many bases and under
how many dements are those states (£S physical states of matter
aggregate, feeling, perception, mental formations, and Nibbana) not
classified ? They are not classified under 1 aggregate (consciousness
abrogate), under 1 base (mind base) and under 7 elements
(consciousness elements 7).

2x5 sense consciousness and the lust death-consciousness of the
Arab at arises simultaneous ! J with each consciousness, Materiality
produced by kamma also arises simultaneously with the mental
aggregates at the moment of conception. These last for 17 thought
moments or 51 phases and then cca.se simultaneously with some
kind of consciousness. The two intimations produced by mind also
arise and cease together with consciousness. Because the 1 mental
aggregates and materiality arise and cease together as shown above,
it i a questionable whether they are associated or dissociated, To
clear up all doubts on this matter, the Buddha expounded it here
and also in the dissociation condition of the Parana. In the
latter the context is " Materiality is related to mentality by way of
dissociation condition. Mentality is related to materiality by way of
dissociation condition M . •_
(2) Uibbana is said to be mentality because the subjective con-
sciousness and mental factors realize and incline towards it on
object. Consciousness and mental factors are also mentality, Slice
Kibbana and consciousness together with the mental factors arc both
mentality, it would appear that they arc associated. But the Buddha
has expounded here that they are dissociated and not associated,
(6) SoflMitfltcs Dissociated : With Tegard to the f meut;a] aggre
gates, if feeling and the other 3, perception and the other 3, mental
formation and the other 3, consciousness and the other 3 comply
with the 4 characteristics of association, they arc associated.
Otherwise they are dissociated.
( C ) Neither Associated nor Ekssodatr-d : (1) Materiality and
Hibbhna, (2) materiality and materiality, (3) feeling ano fee i mg,
(4) perception and perception, (5) mental formation and mem a
formation, (5) consciousness and consciousness, (7} contact and
contact, (8) volition and volition, etc. These pairs never Comply
with the 4 characteristics of association, ' So they are neither
associated nor dissociated. Just as it cannot be said that- one is
like or unlike oneself, but only that one is like or unlike another;
so also it cannot be said that earth is associated, with or dissociated
from earth or feeling -is associated with or dissociated from feeling.
Therefore, they are neither associated nor dissociated.
Exceptions : When it is said, that mental formation and mental
Awocialrtn and IXsso&atum 97
formation are neither associated nor dissociated it means that with
t)io GO states of mental formation aggregate, contact and contact,
volition and volition and so on are neither associated imr dissociated.
But contact and volition, contact and wisdom acid such pairs of
different states of mental formation aggregate arc associated.
Similarly, when it is said that consciousness and cotjscioasacss nee
neither associated nor dissociated this is meant, in the case of cye-con-
sciouaness and eye consciousness and so on for like pairs. But the
eye -consciousness and the remaining G consciousness are dissociated
(ii) lour kinds oj :
(1) Dissociation by planes: This is the difference between the
sensuous, fsne material, immaterial and supramundaoe planes.
(2) Dissociation by classes i This is the difference between whole*
some, unwholesome, resultant, inoperative, ioot-conditioncd and
non- root-conditioned classes of consciousness.
The wholesome and unwholesome consciousness differ in class and,
therefore, they arc said to be diasociated by classes.
(3) Dissociation by times : This is the difference between the
past, future and present. Although the wholesome consciousness of
the past is the same as that of the future and the present, they
differ in time and, therefore, they are said to bo dissociated by
times.
(4) Dissociation by continuity {Santana): This is the difference
between that which arises in one self and another or internally and
externally. Although the wholesome consciousness which arises in
oneself is the same as that in another, they differ in continuity
and therefore, they are eaid to be dissociated by continuity.
AVc. : The dissociation of eye consciousness element from the
remaining G consciousness dements comes under the dissociation
by times.
States oj enquiry : A total of 250 states, 92 of which belong to
internal and 158 to the external states of enquiry, form the subject
matter of this chapter.

of mentality, all the associated mental factors arc indicated in this
column.
With regard to partial dissociation, when materiality is the
subject of enquiry, the 52 mental factors that arc dissociated are
indicated in this column, but in the case of mentality, the IG subtle
physical states and Ntbbarnt, which arc dissociated, are indicated
in this column.
The Form of Question am! A n.iTCO'
This is similar to Chapter I. Here direct questions are ashed
about the numbers of aggregates, bases and dements which are
associated with and dissociated from each state of enquiry.
(1) Association : When either materiality or Nibbana is dealt
with there are no associated states and the answer invariably as
“ With none ". Whenever this is the answer there is no partial
association.
; But materiality is dissociated from mentality as
stated above and the answer lc " from. 4 (mental) aggregates, from
l (mind) base and from 7 (consciousness) elements A This is ob-
tained by classification of the 4 mental aggregates under aggregates,
bases and elements. This is total dissociation.
Partial ZHssocintim : When only part of mentality that comes
under cognizable base and under cognizable element are dissociated,
it is known as “ partial dissociation A This can be clearly under-
stood from the example. At £rst it must- be remembered that
IG subtle physical states, 52 mental factors and Mibb ana arc the
total number of states that come under cognizable base and under
cognizable element. Now it lias been shown that materiality and
materiality, materiality and hubbana are neither associated nor
dissociated. Therefore, with regard to matter aggregate (materiality )
the association with or dissociation from the Id subtle physical
states (materiality) and Nibbatsa of the cognisable base and cogniz-
able element need not be considered. This leaves only the 52 mental
factors of the cognizable base and cognizable element far considera-
tion.- Now matter aggregate ss dissociated from oi mental factors
since they arc mentality. But as the hitter forms only a part of
cognizable base and cognizable element, matter aggregate is
dissociated from a part of cognizable bass' and cognizable element.
Thus the answer here is “ partially dissociated from 1 (cognizable)
base and from 1 (cognizable) element 111 -
Association and YKssociaiutn
99
(2) With feeling, perception or mental formation, cadi of which
13 mentality they arc mutually associated, i.e. each is associated with
the remaining 3 {mental] aggregates, with 1 (mind] baso and with
7 (consciousness) elements. Moreover, since each of them is also
associated with the 52 mental hitters (mentality) that form part
of cognizable hast, and cognizable element they arc partially
associated with 1 (cognizable) base and with 1 (cognizable) dement.
However, when feeling is dealt with, since feeling is not associated
witSi feeling, it is excluded from the 52 mental factors and only
51 mental factors arc partially associated. Similarly with percep-
tion, the perception from the 52 mental factors is excluded.
dissociation : Mentality and materiality are dissociated, . So
feeling, perception or mental formation is d associated from 1 (matter]
aggregate, from 10 (gross) bases and from 10 (gross) demeats.
Each of them is also dissociated from the 16 subtle physical eta tea
and biibbana that form part of cognizable base and cognizable
element and. is therefore partially dissociated from 1 (cognizable)
base and from I (cognizable) element,
(3) Association : With consciousness aggregate, this is associated
with the- remaining 3 mental aggregates, it is not associated with
mind base and with 7 consciousness elements because these come
under consciousness and consciousness is not associated with, con-
sciousness. But it is also associated with the same three mental
factors aggregate, i,c T the 52 mental factors, under cognizable
base and under cognizable element. Thus it is partially associated
with I (cognizable) base and with 3 (cognizable) element.
Dtssoctadon ; It is similarly dissociated as feeling aggregate since
both aro mentality,
(4) Assocuziicn ; With eye-consciousness^ which is one kind of
consciousness, this is similarly associated os consciousness aggre-
gate. But it is associated only with the 7 primary mental factors
and is therefore partially associated with the cognizable base and
cognizable ^ement,
dissociation : Since it is mentality, it is dissociated from 1 (matter)
aggregate and from 10 (gross) bases. As ^regards dissociation from
the dements, since eye-consciousness is neither associated nor dis-
sociated with eye-consciousness, it is excluded from, the 7 con-
sciousness . demente in - dissociation, ft is also dissociated from
cognizable element as the latter comes under partial dissociation.
It must be noted that whenever mentality .is the subject of enquiry..
100
tm Elements
the, 1G subtle physical states and Nibbana are always included in
the partially dissociated states.
(&) AssodaliiM ■ Origin truth is a part of the mental formation
aggrcEato and, therefore, it is associated with the remaining 3
(mental) aggregates, with 1 (mind) base and with l (mmdeon-
aeiousness) dement and also with the remaining 21 states of menta
formation aggregate, Iei the latter case it ta partially associated
with the mental fon nation aggregate.
Dissociation : Origin tmtb is associated witli mind-consciousness
dement which must, therefore, be excluded !lo:ii the j eouscmusait-^
elements in dissociation. It is also dissociated from cognisable
dement as the latter comes under partial dissociation. The rest
is clear from the Chart.
(G) Bodily pleasure faculty is feeling and h, therefore, associated
with the aggregates a [id bases in the aft mo way as feeling aggregate.
But since it is pleasurable feeling accompanied with body conscious-
ness if is associated only with 1 (body consciousness) element. To
partial association, it is associated with the G primary . mental
factors, feeling being excluded. In dissociation, body-consciousness
element is excluded from the elements. The rest Ls clear from the
Chart. i .
(7) Association : Indifference faculty is associated with ou types
of consciousness accompanied by indifferent feeling and not wi-.h
body consciousness which is, therefore, excluded. Moreover, since
it is associated with 4 G mental factors (i.e. excluding feeling, rapture,
hate, envy, stinginess and worry from the 53 mental factors) it as
partially associated. r j „
Dissociation ; Here body consciousness, which b not associated,
is included. The Test is dear from the Chart.
(8) Conditioned by G bases. Contact is a part of the mental
formation aggregate which is associated with the £3 types of con-
sciousness. Thus it is associated with the mental formation aggregate
in partial association. The dissociation is the same as. the mental
aggregates.
(9) Fine-material becoming includes both mentality and
materiality and, therefore, there is no association. Also there is no
dissociation from the aggregates and from the bases. But since nose r
consdousncssj tongue' consciousness and bc-dy consciousness are
absent In this becoming, the materiality-, and mentetity concerned
with it arc dissociated from these 3 consciousness dements.

(10) Immaterial becoming connate of the 4 mental aggregates
therefore;, there is no association. But it is dissociated from
matter aggregate and from Use gross bases. And since this becoming
comes under mind-conscious ness and cognisable elements, these arc
excluded in the dissociation from the dements. Partial dissociation
is clear from the Chart,
(11} Association'. I toad to psychic power consists of mental
formation and consciousness aggregates and, therefore, if is associ-
ated with the remaining mental aggregates, i.e. feeling and percep-
tinn aggregates. Since consciousness is here included, it is not
associated with the base and with the element. And because inten-
tion, energy and wisdom mental factors are its constituents, these
are excluded acid, therefore, it is associated with the remaining
33 mental factors sn partial association.
Dissociation : Since it is mentality it ia dissociated from materiality
and, excluding mind -consciousness and. cognizable elements, from the
remaining IG elemental It is also dissociated from the IG subtle
physical states and Nibbamt in partial dissociation.
(12) 'With Jhana, the- 5 factors come under feeling and mental
formation aggregate and, therefore, it is associated with perception
and consciousness aggregates, with mind base and with mind-con-
sciousness element. In partial association it is also associated with
mental formation aggregate and, excluding the 5 Jhanic factors,
with the remaining 113 mental factors. As for partial dissociation
this ia clear from the Chart,
(13) Decision, which cornea under mental formation aggregate,
is associated wi th 7S types of consciousness ex elusive of doubt
consciousness and 2.x 5 sense -consciousn css . Therefore it is
associated with the remaining 3 mental aggregates, with mind base
and with mind-clement snd mind-consciousness element but not
with the 5 sense -consciousness elements. And, amce it ia a part of
mental formation aggregate, jn partial association it ia associated
with that aggregate and with 50 mental factors exclusive of doubt
with which it is not associated. It la dissociated from 15
elements, i.e. the 10 gross dements aud^hc 5 sense-consciousness
dements.
(Ii) Association : States associated with pleasant feeding comprise
the. remaining 3 mental aggregates exclusive of feeling aggregate
and arc, therefore, associated with feeling aggregate. Since con-
sciousness is included, they are definitely not associated with the

Lo no association, But becauso applied -thought ami sustained-

is that mind consciousness dement which is associated with tljcse
states is cic! tided.
[21] States without applied- thought a: id sustained -thought consist
of the 4 mental aggregates, materiality and NiLbana and, there-
fore,. there, is no association. Mso, there is no dissociation from the
aggregate and from the base but only from mind element which is
not associated with these states. There is no partial dissociation.
(22) States which are mental factors consist of the 3 mental factor
aggregates and, therefore, they arc associated with conscious tress
aggregate, with mind base and with 7 consciousness elements. Since
all the 5 S mental factors are included there is no partial association.
The aggregates, bases a [id elements which are materiality, arc
included in dissociation. As shown in the Chart, tire 16 subtle
physical states and Kibbana arc included in partial dissociation.

L Wfctn one of the 4 mental aggregates is the state of enquiry
(os in Tito- 300), the remaining 3 mental aggregates arc taken as the
first “these states". Then the aggregate under enquiry together
’with tie 3 associated mental aggregates [ these slates ), making
up the 4 mental aggregates, arc taken as the first ^ those states .
(This is indicated in the column of ” those states ” in the Chart
ju- 3 44 sU tea 4- these states ” for this has to be done with every state
of enquiry- The reason is that both " these states and the state
of enquiry are dissociated in the same way— in this case from
materiality and Nibbina, Moreover, it shows that there is a slight
difrereme between the states take; as the first 11 these states ’
and. “Arose states ”). Again, H ‘ those stales" the 4 mental aggre-
gates, are dissociated from materiality and Kibbanu which arc taken
as the second “these states” and, later, as the second "those
Etatea (This is shown in the column of the second “ these states 11
in the Chart). The latter, materiality and Nibbaua arc dissociated
from the* mental aggregates, from mind base and from 7 conscious-
ness eleasenta. They are also dissociated from fi2 mental factors of
conzua&fe base and cognizable element in partial dissociation.

only difference from indifference faculty is in the states taken as
the first fi these states ", Tlie rest arc the same),
Hawio read the Chan ; Feeling aggregate is taken as an illustration.
Feeling aggregate is associated with these states (SO types of con-
sciousness and hi mental factors exclusive of feeling). Those
(feeling and above associated states, i.c. BO types of consciousness
and 52 mental factors) are dissociated from these states (materiality
and Nib bans).
From how many aggregates, from how many bases and from how
many elements are those states (materiality and Kibhana) dissoci-
ated i They are dissociated from 4 aggregates (mental aggregates),
from 1 base (mind base) and from 7 elements [7 consciousness
elements) ; partially dissociated from 1 (cognizable) base (52 mental
factors) and from 1 (cognizable) element (52 mental factors).

Again fourteen greater-inter mediate couplets, six last couplets,
These also are not included. AU these forty-seven states arc not
included in this negative Chapter together with Chapter 14.
Explanation of the Methods and Charts of Chapters VIII and XIV
Subject m after : 324 states which are dissociated by planes, by
classes, by times and by continuity form the subject matter of these
two chapters. Here the states that are dissociated from the state
of enquiry and the states that arc associated with the above
dissociated states are considered. This method can be applied only
to states that are pure materiality, Nibbdna and moo tel aggregates
and to those states whieh involve both materiality and mentality
but are dissociated. Out,of the 324 states, 27 belong to the internal
and 227 to the external states of enquiry . _
All the states of enquiry are not- mentioned in Chapter VI 11
which has only 2 questions and answers. The reason uj that all of
them give the same negative answer, i.c, with notie ■ Howev er,
they are mentioned in Chapter XIV to which reference can be made.
