[335] He was dwelling at Sāvatthī … There the Blessed One … "Bhikkhus, in dependence on the diversity of elements (dhātu) there arises the diversity of contacts. And what, bhikkhus, is the diversity of elements? The eye element, the ear element, the nose element, the tongue element, the body element, the mind element. This, bhikkhus, is called the diversity of elements."
