Dear Jim,

I happened to look in just before I left for the foundation this
morning, where Khun Kulwilai found the volume you mentioned in the
Mahamakut Thai translations, Saddhammapakasini Atthagatha
Khuddakanikaya Patisambhidamagga, where the footnote to the mention of
the 12 dhammarammana reads:

1. The cittas and cetasikas certainly recieve arammanas.  There are
twelve types of arammanas:-

1. kamarammanas           = the 54 kama-cittas, 52 -cetasikas, and 28
-rupas
2. mahaggata-arammanas    = the 27 mahaggata cittas, 35 cetasikas
3. nibbana-arammana       = nibbana
4. nama-arammana          = the cittas, cetasikas and rupas
5. rupa-arammana          = the 28 rupas
6. paccupana-arammana     = the cittas, cetasikas and rupas
7. atita-arammana         = the cittas, cetasikas and rupas
8. kalavimutti-arammana   = nibbana, and pannatti
9. pannatty-arammana      = atthapannatti and saddapannatti
10. paramattha-arammana   = the cittas, cetasikas, rupas and nibbana
11. ajjhatta-arammana     = the cittas, cetasikas and rupas
12. pahida-arammana       = the cittas, cetasikas, rupas, nibbana, and
pannatti

I hope this helps,

Amara
