7.19

"The two absorptions only from three": this means that the two absorptions—non-conception and cessation—are produced from three conditions. Because they are not cognitive agents, the condition as object of cognition is excluded.

[That they arise] from the condition as cause means that they arise from two causes: first, the coexistent cause (sahabhūhetu), which refers to the four characteristics such as arising that reside upon the two absorptions; second, the homogeneous cause (sabhāgahetu), which refers to previously arisen wholesome phenomena of the same stage. For the absorption of non-conception, all wholesome phenomena within the Heaven of Non-conception belong to the same stage. For the absorption of cessation, all wholesome phenomena within the Heaven of the Peak of Existence belong to the same stage.

The condition as immediately contiguous [antecedent] means that when entering the two absorptions, the preceding mind and mental factors serve as the immediately contiguous condition that induces and produces the two absorptions.

The condition as predominance is as explained above.

The treatise states: "Because these two absorptions are induced and produced by the mind and so forth, yet obstruct the arising of the mind and so forth, they serve toward the mind and so forth merely as an immediate [preceding state], not as an immediately contiguous condition. (The explanation says: 'Mind and so forth' includes mental factors. The rest is understood.)"
