90. How are the faculties to be found in the sense of outstandingness?
With the development of the faith faculty zeal arises, with the abandoning of non-faith zeal arises, with the abandoning of anguish of non-faith zeal arises, with the abandoning of defilements coefficient with [wrong] view zeal arises, with the abandoning of gross defilements zeal arises, with the abandoning of secondary defilements zeal arises, with the abandoning of all defilements zeal arises; through zeal gladness arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to gladness. Through gladness happiness arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to happiness. Through happiness tranquillity arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding due to tranquillity. Through tranquillity pleasure arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to pleasure. Through pleasure illumination arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to illumination. Through illumination a sense of urgency arises; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to a sense of urgency. With a sense of urgency he concentrates cognizance; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to concentration. He thoroughly exerts cognizance thus concentrated; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to exertion. He looks on with complete equanimity at cognizance thus exerted; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to equanimity. Owing to equanimity cognizance is liberated from the many sorts of defilements; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to liberation. Because of its being liberated those ideas come to have a single function (taste); then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to development in the sense of single function (taste). Because of its being developed it therefore turns away to what is superior [namely, to nibbana]; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to turning away. Because of its having turned away he [namely, the person now possessed of the path,] therefore relinquishes [both defilements and aggregates]; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to relinquishment. Because of their having been relinquished those [defilements and aggregates] therefore cease [without rearising]; then the faith faculty is outstanding as faith due to cessation.
There are two kinds of relinquishment through cessation: relinquishment as giving up and relinquishment as entering into (launching out into). It gives up defilements and aggregates, thus it is relinquishment as giving up; cognizance enters into (launches out into) cessation which is the nibbana principle, thus it is relinquishment as entering into (launching out into). These are the two kinds of relinquishment through cessation.
91. With the development of the energy faculty zeal arises, with the abandoning of idleness zeal arises, with the abandoning of anguish of idleness zeal arises, with the abandoning of defilements coefficient with [wrong] view zeal arises, … [and so on as in § 90 up to the end, substituting energy for faith].
92. With the development of the mindfulness faculty zeal arises, with the abandoning of negligence zeal arises, …
93. With the development of the concentration faculty zeal arises, with the abandoning of agitation zeal arises, …
94. With the development of the understanding faculty zeal arises, with the abandoning of ignorance zeal arises, … These are the two kinds of relinquishment through cessation.
This is how the faculties are to be found in the sense of outstandingness.

One who has mindfulness founds the mindfulness faculty upon establishment; the mindfulness faculty in one who has mindfulness is founded upon establishment.
