c16.s1.4

¹ As indeterminate rank also matter and Nirvāna, and Kiriyā, action as consciousness leading to no results; it arises during the actual process of sensation (Asl., p. 294); its characteristic form is the consciousness of the Arahant which is unproductive of Karman (pp. xci. ff. 156 ff). The Mahāsaṅghika doctrine that all Karman entails moral result (*vipāka*) is refuted (KV. xii. 2) as is the Andhaka and Uttarāpathaka view that error is unmoral (KV. xiv. 8), and the Uttarāpathaka view that dream consciousness is unmoral (KV. xxii. 6). Cf. KV. xxii. 3 (p. 360, n. 1); *Compendium*, pp. 19, 235 f).
