§ 12.
-
At first in the three (types of) Sublime First Jhāna consciousness thirty-five factors go into combination-namely, thirteen aññasamāna mental factors, and twenty-two Beautiful mental factors, excluding the three Abstinences.[1] (13 + 22 = 35).
Here Compassion and Appreciative Joy should be combined separately.[2] - Similarly in the Second Jhāna consciousness Initial Application is excluded.
- In the Third Jhāna consciousness Initial Application and Sustained Application are excluded.
- In the Fourth Jhāna consciousness Initial Application, Sustained Application and Joy are excluded.
- In the fifteen[3] (types of) Fifth Jhāna consciousness the Illimitables are not obtained.
In all the twenty-seven types of Sublime consciousness the combination is fivefold according to the five kinds of Jhānas.
§ 13.
There are respectively thirty-five, thirty-four, thirty-three, thirty-two, and thirty. Fivefold is the combination in the Sublime.
