On the same principle

the discussion of the kh. in the Abhidhamma). — What
is said of the khandhas alone—see above 1 (a)-(e)—is
equally applied to them in connection with upadana. —
(a) As regards their origin they are characterized as
chandamulaka " rooted in desire, or in wilful
desire" S in. 100; cp. yo kho . . . paiicas' upadanakkhandhesu

recognition of their character as dukkha, anicca, anatta :

position as determinants of dukkha is evident from
their role in the exposition of dukkha as the first one
