Asl. 384. Insight into the presence or absence of the (five) Hindrances is termed, in A. i. 272, manosoceyyam. [CHAPTER X. The Group on Contagion (para masa-gocchakam).]1 [1174] Which are the states that are contagious? The Contagion of speculative opinion. In this connexion, [1175] What is the 'Contagion of speculative opinion '? Answer as for the Intoxicant of speculative opinion,' viz. To hold that the world is eternal, or that it is not eternal,' etc. (§ 1099). [1176] Which are the states that are not a Contagion ? Answer as in the case of the states that are not Hindrances' (§ 1163).2 [1177, 1178] Which are the states that are (a) infected? (b) uninfected?

(p. 49), who falls out of the right attitude toward dhamma, i.e., who loses the belief in their impermanence, etc., lays himself open to the infectious touch of speculative views. 2 The one kind of Contagion is always for the sake of symmetry referred to as plural, e.g., the states afore-named (te dhamma thapetva). Asl. 385. [1179, 1180] Which are the states that are (a) associated with the Contagion? (b) disconnected with the Contagion? Answers as in the corresponding answers relating to the Hindrances (§§ 1166, 1167). [1181, 1182] Which are the states that are (a) themselves Contagious and infected? The Contagion itself is both. (b) infected but not Contagious? The states which are infected by the states afore-named; that is to say, with the exception of the latter, all coIntoxicant states whatever, good, bad and indeterminate, whether they relate to the worlds of sense, form, or the formless; in other words, the five skandhas. [1183, 1184] Which are the states that are (a) disconnected with the Contagion, yet infected? Answers as in the corresponding sections on the Hindrances (§§ 1172, 1173). [CHAPTER XI. The Great Intermediate Set of Pairs (mahantara dukam).]1 [1185, 1186] Which are the states that have (a) a concomitant object of thought ?? The four skandhas. (b) no concomitant object of thought? All form, and uncompounded element. [1187, 1188] Which are the states that are (a) of the intellect?4 Cognition applied to sense-impressions; the element of ideation and the element of ideational cognition. (b) not of the intellect? The skandhas of feeling, perception and syntheses; all form, moreover, and uncompounded element. [1189, 1190] Which are the states that are (a) involved in the life of sense ?5 1 Cf. Chapter III. of this book. The Cy. refrains from any remarks on the answers in this chapter. 2 Sarammaņā. 3 See p. 169: 'void of idea.' See K. V. 404. Citta. See § 1022. Cognition applied,' etc., is in the original cakkhuviññāṇam and the rest. When 'sense' drops out of account in the following pairs, I have reverted to the approximately synonymous term ' thought.' 5 Cetasika. See § 1022. 6 |
