These states are mentioned in the ninth chapter.
Explanation of the Method and Chart of Chapter IX
Subject matter: 120 states, each of which is a part o f mental
aggregate, form the subject matter of these two chapters. These
are the states which comply with the 4 characteristics o f association.
The others, which are Nibbana, pure materiality or materiality
which involves both mentality and Nibbana are, therefore, excluded.
Of the 120 states, 56 belong to the internal and 64 to the external
states of enquiry.
" These states ” and ” those states ” : As was shown in Chapter VI,
the remaining mental aggregates which are associated with the state
o f enquiry are taken as the first “ these states The latter are then
taken as the first “ those states ” . “ Those states ” are associated
with the state of enquiry which is taken as the second “ these states ”
and, later, as the second “ those states ” . These are shown in the
Chart. The association and partial association with the second
“ those states ” are the same as in Chapter VI.
How to read the Chart: Feeling aggregate is taken as illustration.
Feeling aggregate is associated with these states (Consciousness 89,
mental factors 52 excluding feeling = 51). Those states (consciousness 89,
mental factors 52 excluding feeling = 51) are associated with
these states (feeling aggregate).
With how many aggregates, with how many bases and with how
many elements are those states (feeling aggregate) associated ? They
(feeling aggregate) are associated with 3 aggregates (remaining
3 mental aggregates), with 1 base (mind base) and with 7 elements
(7 consciousness elements); partially associated with 1 (cognizable)
base (51 mental factors exclusive of feeling) and with 1 (cognizable)
element (51 mental factors exclusive of feeling).
