§ 3.

The combination of each of these thought-adjuncts in different types of consciousness will hereafter be dealt with accordingly.

Seven are linked with every type of consciousness. The (six) Particulars are linked accordingly. The fourteen are linked only with the Immorals, the (nineteen) Beautiful, only with the Beautiful.

§ 4. In what way ?

In the first place, the seven mental states common to every consciousness are found in all the eighty-nine types of consciousness.

Among the "Particular" mental states:-

1. "Initial Application"^[3] arises in fifty-five types of consciousness, to wit;
   i. In all types of kāmāvacara consciousness, excluding the twice fivefold sense-consciousness. (54 - 10 = 44).
   ii. Also in the eleven types of first Jhāna consciousness. (44 + 11 = 55)
2. "Sustained Application" arises in sixty-six types of consciousness, to wit: In those fifty-five and in the eleven types of second Jhāna consciousness. (55 + 11 = 66).
3. "Decision" arises in all types of consciousness, excluding the twice fivefold sense-consciousness and consciousness, accompanied by "Doubt". (89 - 11 = 78).
4. "Effort" arises in all types of consciousness, excluding the sense-door directing consciousness, twice fivefold sense-consciousness, receiving consciousness, and investigating consciousness. (89 - 11 = 73).
5. "Joy'' arises in all types of consciousness, excluding those accompanied by displeasure, and indifference (equanimity), body-consciousness,* and the fourth Jhāna consciousness. (121 - (2 + 55 + 2 + 11) = 51).
   *[Body-consciousness - viz., that which is accompanied by pain and that by bliss (dukkha and sukha)]
6. "Conation" arises in all types of consciousness, excluding the ahetukas and the two modes of consciousness accompanied by delusion. (89 - 20 = 69).

§ 5.

Those types of consciousness in order are:

Sixty-six, fifty-five, eleven, sixteen, seventy, and twenty without the Particulars.

Fifty-five, sixty-six, seventy-eight, seventy-three, fifty-one, sixty-nine are with the Particulars.^[4]
