6. Commentary on the Dyad-Dyad Conditional Relations
In the Duka-Duka Paṭṭhāna too, the teaching was given in brief by way of merely extracting the questions thus: "A root with-root mental state arises dependent on a root with-root mental state by root condition." Therein, the root dyad with the with-root dyad and so on, and the with-root dyad and so on were combined with that. But each dyad with the remaining ones, and the remaining ones should be combined with those in succession. For this Duka-Duka Paṭṭhāna was taught 'by incorporating dyads into dyads themselves.' Therefore here, the combination of all dyads with all dyads should be understood. But the canonical text is abbreviated. And whatever term does not enter into combination with whatever term, having omitted that, the teaching was given.

In the Dhamma Conformity Conditional Relations, six methods are described. But here, by way of conditions, in each conditional relations there are four methods each beginning with the conformity, thus by one method of exposition, it should be understood as the Conformity Conditional Relations itself adorned with twenty-four methods.
