Preface
This work stands at the beginning of the Abhidhamma, and is used as a
tabulation against which various mental factors which are examined in
the early sections of the Abstract Teaching are measured. The
Dhammasaṅgaṇī itself is, in large part, an explanation of the first three
items in the list (on wholesome and unwholesome thoughts and thoughts
without consequences).
I hope to expand the present work at some point to include the
explanations of the matrix that are given in the Nikkhepakaṇḍa and
Aṭṭhakathā sections of Dhammasaṅgaṇī.
In 2011 I revised the Analysis of Mindfulness and this required a
revision of this material also. I have also now included simplified
footnotes in the English version in line with my current practice.

Aṭṭhasālinī has this interesting explanation of this sequence:
what has the
characteristic of having faultless and pleasant result is
wholesome,
what has
the characteristic of having faulty and painful result is
unwholesome,
what
has the characteristic of no result is
without consequence.
For this meaning,
see SED:
á-vyākṛta,
mfn. undeveloped, unexpounded...
I follow the first
meaning, but PED follows the second meaning and translates as
unexplained,
not decided, not declared, indeterminate
and misses the point here.

The Nikkhepakaṇḍa section of Dhammasaṅgaṇī paraphrases with
vipākasabhāvadhammā;
thoughts that by their own nature are resultant.
