§ 8.
- Of the Beautiful, at first, the nineteen mental states common to the Beautiful are found in all the fifty-nine types of Beautiful consciousness.
- The three Abstinences are definitely obtained all at once in all places in the Supra mundane type of consciousness. But in the mundane Sense-sphere Moral types of consciousness they are at times present severally. (8 + 8 = 16).
- The Illimitables arise at times differently in twenty-eight types of consciousness - namely, the twelve Sublime types of consciousness, excluding the fifth Jhāna, the eight Moral types and the eight sahetuka functional types of Sense-sphere consciousness. Some, however say that Compassion and Appreciative Joy are not present in the types of consciousness accompanied by upekkhā (Equanimity or Indifference). (12 + 8 + 8 = 28)
- Wisdom goes into combination with forty-seven types of consciousness - namely, the twelve kinds of Sense-Sphere consciousness accompanied by wisdom, all the thirty-five Sublime and Supra mundane consciousness. (12 + 35 = 47)
§ 9.
Nineteen states arise in fifty-nine, three in sixteen, two in twenty-eight types of consciousness.
Wisdom is declared to be in forty-seven types. Beautiful are only in the Beautiful. Thus they are combined in four ways.
