Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati. “Dhātunānattaṃ, bhikkhave, paṭicca uppajjati phassanānattaṃ, no phassanānattaṃ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattaṃ. Katamañca, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṃ? Cakkhudhātu … pe … manodhātu—idaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṃ.

Kathañca, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṃ paṭicca uppajjati phassanānattaṃ, no phassanānattaṃ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattaṃ? Cakkhudhātuṃ, bhikkhave, paṭicca uppajjati cak­khu­samphasso, no cak­khu­samphas­saṃ paṭicca uppajjati cakkhudhātu … pe … manodhātuṃ paṭicca uppajjati manosamphasso, no manosamphassaṃ paṭicca uppajjati manodhātu. Evaṃ kho, bhikkhave, dhātunānattaṃ paṭicca uppajjati phassanānattaṃ, no phassanānattaṃ paṭicca uppajjati dhātunānattan”ti.

Tatiyaṃ.
