Chapter 24 - Vippayutta paccayo (or dissociation condition)
Vippayutta paccayoti
Rūpino dhammā arūpīnam dhammānam vippayutta paccayena paccayo.
Vipayutta paccayo or dissociation condition is this. Rūpino dhamma means material matters or material dhamma or ū貹 dhamma. There are ū貹s that serve as dissociation condition for arūpīnam dhammā nam or aū貹 dhamma or 峾 dhamma.
ū辱Դ dhammā rūpīnam dhammānam vippayutta paccayena paccayo.
Likewise arūpino dhamma or dhamma or aū貹 or 峾 dhamma serve as conditioning dhamma, dissociation condition for rūpīnam dhammānam or ū貹 dhamma or material dhamma. Rūpa and aū貹 or 峾 dhamma arise together. But they cannot touch each other. Rūpa cannot touch 峾 and 峾 cannot touch ū貹 and vice versa.
They cannot be mixed like water and milk. They are like mixing of stone and water. Even though they exist together they stand on their own feet and they stand dissociatively. So each dhamma that is when ū貹 is conditioning dhamma that ū貹 serves as dissociation condition for 峾 dhamma and 峾 dhamma become conditioned dhamma.
When aū貹 dhamma or 峾 dhamma become conditioning dhamma then 峾 serves as dissociation condition for ū貹 dhamma and ū貹 dhamma become conditioned dhamma.
There are 3 kinds of vippayutta paccayo or dissociation condition. They are
- ٲ vipayutta paccayo or conascent dissociation condition
- 貹ٲ vipayutta paccayo or postnascent dissociation condition
- vatthu ܰٲ vipayutta paccayo or base prenascent dissociaiton condition
1. Sahajāta vipayutta paccaya
Patisandhi hadaya vatthu serves as conditioning dhamma for 4 patisandhi namakkhandha namely vedanakkhandha, sannakkhandha, sankharakkhandha and patisandhi vinnākkhandha or patisandhi citta. They both hadaya ū貹 and all these 4 namakkhandha arise together and they do not mix with each other and they are dissociated. So they are ٲ vipayutta or conascence dissociation condition.
75 cittas of 89 cittas ( after exclusion of 10 vinnāna cittas of pancavinnana and 4 arupavipaka cittas all of which are not producing any cittaja ū貹 or consciousness born ū貹 ) and 52 cetasikas serve as ٲ vipayutta paccaya for cittaja ū貹 and patisandhi kammaja ū貹.
2. Pacchājāta vipayutta paccaya
85 cittas ( 4 aū貹vipaka cittas are excluded as they do not generate cittaja ū貹 ) serves as 貹ٲ vipayutta paccaya or postnascence dissociation condition for ekaja ⲹ, dvija ⲹ, tija ⲹ, and catuja ⲹ ū貹 when these ū貹 are in their thi khana.
Ekaja means generated by one cause, dvija means generated by 2 causes, tija by 3 causes and catuja ny 4 causes. Rūpa arise and stay for 51 anukhanas or 51 sub moments or 17 cittakkhana or 17 moments. Upāda of ū貹 is weak. But when rupa arrive in their thī khana they can interact with cittas or 峾 dhamma. When ū貹 arise earlier and 85 cittas arise later there 85 cittas condition the already arisen ū貹 with postnascence dissociation condition or 貹ٲ vipayutta paccaya. Because ū貹 and 峾 cannot be mixed they are vipayutta and as 85 cittas arise later than ū貹 they serve as postnascence condition.
3. vatthu ܰٲ vipayutta paccaya
There are 6 vatthus. They are cakkhu vatthu, sota vatthu, Բ vatthu, ᾱ vatthu, ⲹ vatthu and hadaya vatthu. All these 6 vatthu ū貹 serve as vatthu ܰٲ vipayutta paccaya or base prenascence dissociation condition for 7 vinnāna excluding 4 arupavipāka cittas as these 4 aū貹vipāka cittas do not interact with ū貹 at all. 7 vinnāna are cakkhuvinnāna, sotavināna, Բvinnāna, ᾱvinnāna, ⲹvinnāna of pancavināna cittas and manodhatu and manovinnādhātu altogether 7 vinnāna are conditioned by 6 vatthu ū貹 with vatthu ܰٲ vipayutta paccaya.
