[570] Which form (rūpa) is the sound element (sadda-dhātu)? … the odour element (gandha-dhātu)? … the taste element (rasa-dhātu)? … the tangible element (phoṭṭhabba-dhātu)? The tangible sense base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) — this is that form which is the tangible element. Which form is not the tangible element? The eye sense base (cakkhāyatana) … edible food (kabaḷiṅkāra āhāra) — this is that form which is not the tangible element.
