That is a bit complicated.
The standard PS cycle can be analyzed as the result of 16 sub-cycles! That is actually what happens WITHIN a javana citta. Only a Buddha can “see” that process; we can only see that it must be true. It is a complex analysis.
There was a discussion on it sometime back: “kusala mula PS leads not to rebirth.”
- In a comment on May 27, 2022, at 8:27 pm (#37674) I discussed that briefly.
- So, the verse you quoted above describes one of the earlier steps in the 16-cycle process. I quoted it above without realizing it.
- It is not necessary to go through that analysis.
