“upapajjantānaṃ” - 19 rebirth-linking consciousness, and its associated cetasika.

For egg-born beings (aṇdaja) and womb-born beings (jalābuja), there are 3 groups of kamma born matter arise – kāyadasaka, bhāvadasaka, and vatthudasaka.

For rūpāvacara beings, there are 4 groups of kamma born matter arise – cakkhudasaka, sotadasaka, vatthudasaka, and jīvitanavaka.

For moisture-born beings (saṃsedaja) and beings having spontaneous birth (opapātika), there are 7 groups of kamma born matter arise - cakkhudasaka, sotadasaka, ghānadasaka, jivhādasaka, kāyadasaka, bhāvadasaka, and vatthudasaka.

[081109c02-pavatti-uppadavara.mp3]
For non-percipient beings (asaññasatta), there is only the vital nonad arise (jīvitanavaka).

“Pañcavokāra” - five-aggregate beings (kāmāvacara and rūpāvacara except asaññasatta)
“Catuvokāra” - four-aggregate beings (arūpāvacara)
“Ekāvokāra” - one-aggregate beings (asaññasatta)

beings = 12 beings (4 puthujjanā beings, 4 maggattā persons, 4 phalattā persons)

Here “Sabbesaṃ upapajjantānaṃ” - the possible reborn beings are 4 puthujjanā, 3 lower phala persons. (4 magga persons and arahatta phala person are excluded)

Pañcavokāre maggassa uppādakkhaṇe tesaṃ dukkhasaccañca uppajjati, maggasaccañca uppajjati.

Guide:
“Yassa dukkhasaccaṃ uppajjati” - To a being, dukkhasacca is arising.
“tassa maggasaccaṃ uppajjatī'ti” - To that being, is maggasacca arising?

“Maggasaccaṃ” = eight-fold noble path
“maggavippayuttacitta” = citta that apart from Magga citta, the remainings are maggavippayuttacitta.

“Pañcavokāre” - 11 kāmāvacara plane, 15 rūpāvacara plane except asaññasatta plane.

“maggassa uppādakkhaṇe” - only in sugati, not in duggati.

“Pañcavokāre maggassa uppādakkhaṇe tesaṃ dukkhasaccañca uppajjati, maggasaccañca uppajjati.”
Here “ dukkhasaccañca” refers to hadayavatthu. Arūpāvacara plane no hadayavatthu, therefore, this plane is excluded, only Pañcavokāre is mentioned here.

Another, “maggasacca” produces citta born matter, this citta born matter also “dukkhasacca”

Guide:
Yassa = a being
dukkhasaccaṃ = the truth of suffering
uppajjati = is arising

“Yassa dukkhasaccaṃ uppajjati”
To a being, the truth of suffering is arising.

---

Tassa = to that being
samudayasaccaṃ = the truth of cause of suffering

“tassa samudayasaccaṃ uppajjatī'ti”
Is the truth of cause of suffering arising to that being?

---

Sabbesaṃ = all beings
upapajjantānaṃ = at the moment of rebirth, birth-moment, paṭisandhi moment

Paṭisandhi citta = 19 citta, e.g. Mahāvipāka citta, 3 groups of kamma born matter (kāyadasaka, bhāvadasaka, vatthudasaka)

19 paṭisandhi citta = 2 santīraṇa citta, 8 mahāvipaka citta, 5 rūpāvacara vipaka citta, 4 arūpāvacara vipāka citta.
paṭisandhi for asaññasatta = 9 kamma born matter

Paṭisandhi citta does not associate with lobha. None of paṭisandhi citta associate with lobha.

“Sabbesaṃ upapajjantānaṃ tesaṃ dukkhasaccaṃ uppajjati, no ca tesaṃ samudayasaccaṃ uppajjati.”
To all beings at the paṭisandhi-moment, the truth of suffering is arising, but not the truth of cause of suffering is arising.

---

Pavatte = in the moment of life-contineum

taṇhāvippayuttacittassa = citta not associated with craving (89 citta – 8 lobhamūlacitta = 81 citta are called taṇhāvippayuttacittassa)

uppādakkhaṇe = at the moment of arising

“pavatte taṇhāvippayuttacittassa uppādakkhaṇe tesaṃ dukkhasaccaṃ uppajjati, no ca tesaṃ samudayasaccaṃ uppajjati. ”
At the arising moment of 81 citta dissociated from lobha. To those beings, only dukkhasacca is arising, but not samudayasacca is arising.

---

Taṇhāya uppādakkhaṇe = at the arising moment of taṇhā

“Taṇhāya uppādakkhaṇe tesaṃ dukkhasaccañca uppajjati samudayasaccañca uppajjati.”
When lobha is arising, dukkasacca (the base of lobha - hadayavatthu, lobha object also dukkhasacca, lobhamulacitta is also dukkhasacca) is arising, samudayasacca is also arising (lobha cetasika).

---
[081109b04-pavatti-uppadavara.mp3]

Yassa vā pana samudayasaccaṃ uppajjati tassa dukkhasaccaṃ uppajjatī'ti: āmantā.

The truth of cause of suffering is arising to this being. Is the truth of suffering arising to that being? Yes.

Definition of Ariya Sacca

Note:

{Fundamental Abhidhamma, pp133}

Ariyasacca meas “Noble Truth”. It is divided into 4:
(1)Dukkha Ariyasacca – The Noble Truth of suffering,
(2)Dukkhasamudaya Ariyasacca – The Noble Truth of the cause of suffering,
(3)Dukkhanirodha Ariyasacca – The Noble Truth of the cessation of suffering,
(4)Dukkhanirodhagāminīpaṭipadā Ariyasacca – The Noble Truth of the way to the cessation of suffering.

Herein, the First Noble Truth is composed of all types of mundane states namely, 81 mundane citta, 51 associated cetasika except lobha and 28 matters.

The Second Noble Truth is composed of only lobha, as major cause.

The Third Noble Truth is composed of only Nibbāna, but the Fourth Noble Truth is composed of 8 factors of the Path. They are 8 mental states namely, Paññā, vitakka, 3 virati, vīriya, sati and ekaggatā which associate with Magga citta.
