        (i)  (1275).    What are the dhamma which are associated with
                                    initial application of the mind?

        Leaving aside initial application of the mind from amongst the mind and mental concomitants associated with the initial application of the mind of the Sensuous Sphere, the Fine Material Sphere and the Supramundane, there are the aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness which are associated with that initial application of the mind.
        ~These are the dhamma which are associated with initial application of the mind.
