This second statement, Reverse order style (Paṭiloma), is the 3rd type of question: Paripuṇṇapañhā (question dealing with the complete points, the preceding and the following). Such a question applies to where there the Sanniṭṭhāna (i.e. Dukkhasaccaṃ) is more in dhamma than the Saṃsaya (i.e. dukkha) even some are similar. To that question the answer is to be called Sarūpadassana (answer with classification).
