3.112

"Because at this time of connecting existence, [the mind] is definitely defiled": this is the answer. Although these two, mind and equanimity, are also definitely present at the time of connecting existence, because they are definitely defiled, they are not maturation (vipāka), since the question and answer are formulated strictly on the basis of maturation. Although the five faculties of pain, pleasure, grief, joy, and faith and the rest are also possessed at the initial stage of taking birth, because they are not maturation, they are likewise not mentioned here. Even mind and equanimity, which are both possessed and manifest, are not mentioned; how much less the nine beginning with pain, which are possessed but not manifest? The reason is self-evident, and therefore no separate question is raised.
