                                            4.     Hetu Sahetuka Duka:

        (ii)  (1084).    What are the dhamma which have root causes but are not
                                     root causes?


       
Because of root causes associating with them, there are dhamma which have root causes.  Leaving aside the associating root causes from the dhamma which have root causes, there are the remaining aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness.
        ~These are the dhamma which have root causes but are not root causes.

       
        (ii)  (1448).    What are the dhamma which have causes but are not root causes?

        There are:  (21) meritorious thoughts of the four spheres;  (12) demeritorious thoughts;  leaving aside resultant thoughts without root cause of the Sensuous Sphere, there are (21) resultants of the four spheres.  Leaving aside non-causative action thought without root cause of the Sensuous Sphere, there are (17 types of) non-causative action, which are neither meritorious nor demeritorious, of the three spheres.
        leaving aside root causes from the above thoughts, there are the remaining thoughts, i.e., the dhamma which have root causes but are not root causes.
        ~These are the dhamma which have root causes but are not root causes.

        Dhamma which have no root causes should not  be taken as dhamma which are root causes and which also have root causes, or as dhamma which have root causes but are not root causes.
