## The Chapter of Sevenfold Arising
Understanding the three types of eightfold arising, which arise from the combination of one of the sevenfold arising with a third, is essential. Therefore, there are three sets of twenty-four bhangas (breaks). They are as follows:
The first set of twenty-four bhangas arises when the arising of fear is combined with the arising of the eightfold arising from the previously mentioned sevenfold arising. The second set of twenty-four bhangas arises when the arising of disgust is combined with the arising of the eightfold arising from the previously mentioned sevenfold arising. The third set of twenty-four bhangas arises when the arising of any one of the four infinite-binding passions (anger, pride, deceit, and greed) is combined with the arising of the eightfold arising from the previously mentioned sevenfold arising. Thus, there are three sets of twenty-four bhangas when the eightfold arising is present.
This chapter addresses the doubts regarding the non-acceptance of the four infinite-binding passions in the sevenfold arising and the eightfold arising obtained from the arising of fear and disgust, and the acceptance of the arising of the infinite-binding passions only after the binding-chain (bandhavali). The excerpt from the commentary by Acharya Malayagiri on these doubts is as follows:
"How is it possible that the arising of the infinite-binding passions is inevitable in the case of false belief (mithyatva)? How is it that false belief is mentioned here as being devoid of the arising of the infinite-binding passions in the sevenfold arising or the eightfold arising? It is said that in the case of a person with right belief (samyagdrishti), the infinite-binding passions are initially disconnected by some means. This person, being liberated, does not have the destruction of false belief. Due to the absence of such a general condition, when a person later falls into false belief, the false belief, being the root of the infinite-binding passions, binds them. Therefore, as long as the binding-chain does not cross the threshold, their arising does not occur. It occurs when the binding-chain crosses the threshold."
