§ 17.
- Now, in immoral consciousness, to begin with, in the first unprompted consciousness[1] nineteen mental states enter into combination - namely, thirteen unmoral concomitants, the four common immoral concomitants, making seventeen, together with attachment and misbelief. (13 + 4 + 2 = 19)
- Similarly in the second unprompted consciousness[2] the same seventeen, together with attachment and conceit. (13 + 4 + 2 = 19)
- Similarly in the third unprompted consciousness there are eighteen concomitants, together with attachment and misbelief but excluding joy.[3] (12 + 4 + 2 = 18)
- Similarly in the fourth (there are eighteen) with attachment and conceit. (12 + 4 + 2 = 18)
- In the fifth unprompted consciousness connected with aversion the above twenty concomitants, excluding joy,[4] are combined together with hatred, jealousy, avarice and worry. Of them jealousy, avarice and worry should be combined separately.[5] (12 + 4 + 4 = 20)
- In the five types[6] of prompted consciousness the above concomitants should similarly be combined with this difference that sloth and torpor are included. (21; 21; 20; 20; 22).
- In the type of consciousness connected with restlessness fifteen mental states occur - namely, eleven aññasamānas excluding conation[7] and joy, and the four immoral Universals. (11 + 4 = 15)
- In the type of consciousness connected with perplexity fifteen states are similarly obtained together with perplexity, but devoid of decision.[8] (10 + 4 + 1 = 15)
Thus in all the twelve types of immoral consciousness synthesis becomes sevenfold when reckoned according to their different combinations.[9]
§ 18.
Nineteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty, twenty-two, fifteen, - thus they stand in seven ways in the immoral consciousness.
Those fourteen mental states - namely, the four immoral universals, and ten unmorals,[10] are said to be associated with all the immoral types of consciousness.

Adhimokkha, the mental factor that dominates in deciding cannot exist in a perplexed mind.

(i) 1st and 2nd asankhārika citta = 19; (ii) 3rd and 4th asankhārika citta = 18; (iii) 5th asankhārika citta = 20; (iv) 1st and 2nd sasanhhārika citta = 21; (v) 3rd and 4th sasankhārika citta = 20; (vi) 5th sasankhārika citta = 22; (vii) moha citta = 15. Thus they divide themselves into seven classes according to numbering.
