316 Explanation Avijjà, taõhà, upàdàna are defilements (kilesà). So they are grouped as kilesa-vañña. Kamma-bhava and saïkhàra are kamma-formations. So they are grouped as kamma-vañña. Upapatti-bhava, vi¤¤àõa, nàma-råpa, saëàyatana, phassa, vedanà, jàti, jarà-maraõa are the resultants (vipàka) of kamma-formations. So they are grouped as vipàka-vañña. In the past, because of ignorance (avijjà), we have false view and attachment (taõhà) to sense-objects. When the attachment and the false-view grow up to strong craving or grasping (upàdàna), we perform wholesome or unwholesome deeds (kamma-bhava and saïkhàra). This illustrates how kilesa-vañña gives rise to kamma-vañña in the past. Now because of kamma-formations (kamma-bhava and saïkhàra) in the past, vipàka-vañña – viz., upapatti-bhava, vi¤¤àõa, nàma-råpa, saëàyatana, phassa, vedanà, jàti, jarà-maraõa – arises in the present life. At the same time avijjà, taõhà and upàdàna come along with vi¤¤àõa as anusaya-kilesàs (latent defilements). When the six bases (saëàyatana) are in contact with the sense-objects and phassa and vedanà arise, those anusaya-kilesàs arise as fullfledged kilesàs. So we get kilesa-vañña again. As the result of kilesa-vañña, kamma-vañña arises. As the result of kamma-vañña, vipàka-vañña arises. And as the result of vipàkavañña, kilesa-vañña arises again. So the rounds of vañña will keep on rotating, and so does the wheel of Pañiccasamuppàda, for ever. 7 Two Roots (Måla) The wheel of Pañiccasamuppàda (see Table 8.1) can be divided into two portions. The first portion starts from the Past Causes and
317 DIAGRAM 8.2 The Wheel of Pañiccasamuppàda ends at the Present Effects comprising avijjà, saïkhàra, vi¤¤àõa, nàma-råpa, saëàyatana, phassa and vedanà. In this portion, avijjà is the root or origin (måla). The second portion starts from the Present Causes and ends at the Future Effects covering taõhà, upàdàna, bhava, jàti and jaràmaraõa. In this portion taõhà is the root or origin (måla). So the two roots of Pañiccasamuppàda are avijjà and taõhà. If we cut off these two roots, the wheel of Pañiccasamuppàda will be destroyed for ever as far as we are concerned, just as a tree will die when its main roots are cut off.
