(iii) (1389). What are the dhamma which are associated with neither pleasant nor unpleasant sensation?
There are: four meritorious thoughts of the Sensuous Sphere which arise together with equanimity; six demeritorious thoughts which arise together with equanimity; ten resultants of meritorious thoughts of the Sensuous Sphere which arise together with equanimity; six resultants of demeritorious thoughts which arise together with equanimity; six types of non-causative action which arise together with equanimity; meritorious thoughts, resultants and non-causative action pertaining to the Fourth [or the Fifth] Jhana of the Fine material Sphere; four each of the meritorious thoughts, resultants and non-causative action pertaining to the Non-material Sphere; meritorious thoughts and resultants pertaining to the Fourth [or the Fifth] Supramundane Jhana.
