Kāma Guṇa do not arise in an Arahant.

  • Somanssa and domanassa are both created by the mind based on Kāma Guṇa. Thus, they do not arise in an Arahant.
  • An Arahant would experience only dukha or sukha vedana experienced by the physical body. Somanssa and domanassa are both mind-made (“so manssa” and “do manassa”).

Question: “I just thought of this, but would Kāma Guṇa and pancakkhandha be associated?”

  • No. 
  • However, Kāma Guṇa gives rise to pancupadanakkhandha.
