N: Conditioned by bile arises wholesome feeling. As to the words <I shall
produce medicine for bile>, this means, having prepared the ingredients of
the medicine, having prepared the ingredients of the material of pollen for
that purpose, <he kills a living being>, is the exegesis. With equanimity he
is indifferent with regard to the production of medicine.

N: This sutta is spoken from the standpoint of worldly convention; (the
feelings) arisen from bile, and so on, are designated in the manner of
worldly convention. The feelings connected with the sensuous body are
actually produced by kamma, but by way of the present condition there is
thus this worldly convention; accepting what is thus said, it should be
understood that the opponents doctrine is refuted.
