Preface
The text of the Mtik from Dhammasaga presented here has been established
after a comparison of the three main editions of the text as listed below. The work as
it stands is a preliminary to some texts that are being prepared from the
Abhidhamma, including the Satipahnavibhaga.
After revising the Satipahnavibhaga is proved necessary to update the Mtik
also, to bring it into line. I still hope to expand the present work at some point to
include the explanations of the matrix that are given in the Nikkhepakaa and
Ahakath sections of Dhammasaga.

[Abhidhammamtik]
[The Matrix from the Abstract Teaching]
[Tikamtik]
[The Triplets Matrix]
[1]
Kusal dhamm,
Wholesome things,
Akusal dhamm,
Unwholesome things,
Abykat dhamm.1
Things without consequences.
[2]
Sukhya vedanya sampayutt dhamm
Things connected with pleasant feeling
Dukkhya vedanya sampayutt dhamm
Things connected with painful feeling
Adukkham-asukhya vedanya sampayutt dhamm
Things connected with neither painful nor pleasant feeling

BJT: avykat, and in the answer. Ahaslin has this interesting explanation of this
sequence: anavajjasukhavipkalakkha kusal, svajjadukkhavipkalakkha akusal,
avipkalakkha avykat; what has the characteristic of having faultless and pleasant
result is wholesome, what has the characteristic of having faulty and painful result is
unwholesome, what has the characteristic of no result is without consequence. For this
meaning, see SED: -vykta, mfn. undeveloped, unexpounded... I follow the first meaning,
but PED follows the second meaning and translates as unexplained, not decided, not
declared, indeterminate and misses the point here.

Tikamtik - The Triplets Matrix - 4

[3]
Vipk dhamm

Things that have resultant nature

Asakiliha-asakilesik dhamm6
Things that are not defiled and are not connected with the defilements

The Nikkhepakaa section of Dhammasaga paraphrases with vipkasabhvadhamm;

things that by their own nature are resultant.

The Nikkhepakaa says this phrase means: ye ca dhamm kiriy neva kusalnkusal na ca
kammavipk, sabba-ca rpa, asakhat ca dhtu; whatever actions that are neither
wholesome nor unwholesome, all form, and the element without processes (i.e. nibbna).

33

These are defined as being adherence to the wrong views that the world is eternal or not
eternal; finite or infinite; the soul and the body are the same or not the same; the
individual exists or doesnt exist after death; the individual both exists and does not exist
after death or neither exists nor does not exist after death.

34

Ahaslin: parmsehi rammaakaraavasena parmahatt parmah; because of

their taking objects with adherence (there is) adherence to, (therefore) adhered to (is said).

35

This doesnt quite follow the same scheme as the other defilements set out above, following
which we might have expected: things that are adherences and associated with adherences,
etc. because the parmsa have only one object, (wrong) view (dihi). I owe this
explanation to Bhikkhu Bodhi.
