Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Nidānavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 16 · Section 337

[337] Dwelling at Sāvatthī … There the Blessed One … "Bhikkhus, in dependence on the diversity of elements (dhātu) there arises the diversity of contacts (phassa); the diversity of elements does not arise in dependence on the diversity of contacts. And what, bhikkhus, is the diversity of elements? The eye element … the mind element. This, bhikkhus, is called the diversity of elements."
