Thanks for the reference on AN 2.36.

  • This is the first time I have encountered the terms “ajjhatta samyojana” and “bahidda samyojana.”
  • I did a search and did not see any other sutta with those terms.
  • Other than the usage of those “unusual terms,” the meanings are the same, i.e., “ajjhatta samyojana” = orambhagiya samyojana and “bahidda samyojana” = uddhambhagiya samyojana.
  • However, I do not see a connection between those and ajjhatta vinnana and bahidda vinnana.

The quoted statement, “’paṭisaṃvedī’ or “paṭisanvedi” (“paṭi + “san” + “vedi“) means vedana due to bonds with “san” becoming apparent” is correct.

Per the above, one cannot attain the Arahant stage without “patisamvedi” taking place.
