Study Report 5

The Question and Answer on the Positive and Negative basis are again two-fold:-
1. In regular order (anuloma)
2. In reverse order (patiloma)

Eg:-
1. In regular order (anuloma)
Rūpaṃ rūpakkhandho?
(It is) rūpa. (Is it) matter aggregate?

2. In reverse order (patiloma)
Rūpakkhandho rūpaṃ?
(It is) matter aggregate. (Is it) rūpa?

Each of the Order has two aspects that are:-
1. Certainty / Definite (Sanniṭṭhāna)
2. Uncertainty / Indefinite (Samsaya)

Eg:-
Let us take ‘In regular order (anuloma)’ as example:
Rūpaṃ rūpakkhandho?
(It is) rūpa. (Is it) matter aggregate?

Guide:
1. (It is) rūpa (rūpaṃ) is Certainty / Definite (Sanniṭṭhāna)
2. (Is it) matter aggregate? (rūpakkhandho) is Uncertainty / Indefinite (Samsaya)
That means, in the statement says, it is certain rūpa; but in the question it shows uncertainty, is it matter aggregate?
