Hatthapādapabbasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Saḷāyatanavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 18 · Section 306

[306] Bhikkhus, when there are no hands, taking up and putting down are not discerned; when there are no feet, going forward and coming back are not discerned; when there are no joints, bending in and stretching out are not discerned; when there is no belly, hunger and thirst are not discerned. Even so, bhikkhus, when there is no eye, pleasure and pain internally do not arise with eye-contact (cakkhusamphassa) as condition … when there is no tongue, pleasure and pain internally do not arise with tongue-contact as condition … when there is no mind (mano), pleasure and pain internally do not arise with mind-contact as condition.
