Now I understand, Lal. If we look at Vb 6, we see that only in the first section Suttantabhājanīya is the PS mentioned (starts with “Avijjāpaccayā saṅkhārā…”). Then come sections with causes/conditions (paccaya, hetu, sampayutta, aññamañña), as well as various akusala citta and kusala citta. But the terms “akusala-mula PS” or “kusala-mula PS” are not mentioned. Thus, “paṭicca samuppāda” always means the process that leads to rebirth (even within one lifetime).
