[483] **"When contact does not exist, these do not come to be" (phasse asante na bhavanti hete):** when contact (phassa) does not exist, is not found, is not apprehended, the pleasant and the unpleasant (sātāsātā) do not come to be, do not originate, are not born, are not generated, are not produced, are not brought forth, do not appear. Therefore it is said: "When contact does not exist, these do not come to be."
