Synchrony of Relations in the Immoral Classes of Consciousness
There are twelve classes of immoral consciousness: two rooted in nescience, eight rooted in greed, and two rooted in hate.
There are fourteen immoral mental properties: moha (delusion), ahirika (shamelessness), anottappa (recklessness of consequences), and uddhacca (distraction)— these four are termed the delusion-quadruple;
lobha (greed), diṭṭhi (wrong view), and māna (conceit)—these three are termed the greed-triple;
dosa (hate), issā (envy), macchariya (selfishness), and kukkucca (worry)—these four are termed the hate-quadruple;
thīna (sloth), middha (torpor), and vicikicchā (perplexity)—these three are termed the miscellaneous-triple.
these, the three roots—greed, hate, and delusion—are hetu relations. Error
note 4: error refers to "diṭṭhi", which is translated as wrong view previously. is a magga relation. The remaining ten mental properties do not become any particular relation.
Here, the two classes of consciousness rooted in delusion are: consciousness conjoined withperplexity and consciousness conjoined with distraction.
With the first of these two, fifteen mental concomitants co-exist. There are the seven universals, initial application, sustained application, effort (from the particulars), the delusion-quadruple, and perplexity (from the immorals). They make up sixteen mental states in combination with consciousness.
In this consciousness, i.e. the consciousness conjoined with perplexity, the relations of hetu and magga are also obtained.
That is, delusion acts as the hetu relation; initial application and effort as the magga; and, as to ekaggatā (unification of mind), as its function would be interfered with by perplexity, it does not perform the functions of indriya and magga, but it does the function of jhāna.
Therefore, the three relations (adhipati, pacchājāta, vipāka) are not obtainable; and the remaining twenty-one are obtainable in this consciousness which is conjoined with perplexity.
In consciousness conjoined with distraction, there are also fifteen mental properties—omitting perplexity and adding decision. They also make up sixteen mental states together with the consciousness.
In this consciousness, ekaggatā performs the functions of indriya, jhāna and magga. Therefore, three relations are not obtainable, whereas twenty-one are obtainable.
Seven universals, six particulars, the delusion-quadruple, the greed-triple, sloth and torpor—altogether twenty-two in number—severally co-exist with the eight classes of consciousness rooted in greed.
Among these, the two roots—greed and delusion—are hetu relations;
and the three mental states—desire-to-do, consciousness itself and effort—are adhipati relations. Ārammaṇādhipati is also obtained here.
Volition is the relation of kamma.
The three foods are the relations of āhāra.
The five mental states—mind, feeling, unification, life and effort—are relations of indriya.
The five jhāna factors, i.e. initial application, sustained application, pleasurable interest, feeling and concentration, are jhāna relations.
The four magga constituents, i.e. initial application, concentration, error, and effort, are magga relations.
Therefore only the two relations (pacchājāta and vipāka) are not obtained.
The remaining twenty-two are obtained.
Note 5: Missing translation for this part. Translation for reference as follows: Twenty-two mental properties— omitting pleasurable interest and the greed-triple, adding the hate- quadruple—severally co-exist with the two classes of consciousness rooted in hate. Among these, the two roots—hate and delusion—are hetu relations; the three mental states—desire-to-do, consciousness itself and effort—are adhipati relations; the three foods are the relations of āhāra; the five mental states—mind, feeling, unification, life and effort—are relations of indriya; the four jhāna factors, omitting pleasurable interest are jhāna relations; the three magga constituents, i.e. initial application, concentration and effort, are magga relations.
