application of the mind and sustained application of the mind?
There are: the mind and mental concomitants which are not associated with both initial application and sustained application of the mind of the Sensuous Sphere, the Fine Material Sphere, the Non-material Sphere and the Supramundane which are the aggregate of Sensation, the aggregate of Perception, the aggregate of Volitional Activities and the aggregate of Consciousness; there is also all that is Corporeality and there is also the Unconditioned Element (Nibbana).
~ These are the dhamma which are not associated with both initial

(iii) (1401). What are the dhamma which are not associated with both initial
application of the mind and sustained application of the mind?
There are: twice five kinds of thoughts; meritorious thoughts, resultants, and non-causative action pertaining to the three or the three Jhanas 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 three or the three Supramundane Jhanas; sustained application of the mind that arises in the Second Jhana according to the five-category classification of jhanas; there is also Corporeality; and there is also Nibbana.
~ These are the dhamma which are not associated with both initial application
of the mind and sustained application of the mind.
Sustained application of the mind (vicara) which arises together with initial application of the mind (vitakka) should not be taken as associating with both vitakka and vicara, or as not associating with vitakka but as associating only with vicara, or as not associating with both vitakka and vicara.
