[639] Which form (rūpa) is clung-to (upādinna) and visible (sanidassana)? The form base (rūpāyatana), due to kamma having been done — this is the form that is clung-to and visible. Which form is clung-to and invisible (anidassana)? The eye base (cakkhāyatana) … the body base (kāyāyatana), the femininity faculty (itthindriya), the masculinity faculty (purisindriya), the life faculty (jīvitindriya); or whatever other form there is due to kamma having been done: the odour base (gandhāyatana), the taste base (rasāyatana), the tangible base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana), the space element (ākāsadhātu), the water element (āpodhātu), the growth of form (rūpassa upacayo), the continuity of form (rūpassa santati), edible nutriment (kabaḷīkāro āhāro) — this is the form that is clung-to and invisible. Which form is not clung-to (anupādinna) and visible? The form base, not due to kamma having been done — this is the form that is not clung-to and visible. Which form is not clung-to and invisible? The sound base (saddāyatana), bodily intimation (kāyaviññatti), verbal intimation (vacīviññatti), the lightness of form (rūpassa lahutā), the malleability of form (rūpassa mudutā), the wieldiness of form (rūpassa kammaññatā), the decay of form (rūpassa jaratā), the impermanence of form (rūpassa aniccatā); or whatever other form there is not due to kamma having been done: the odour base, the taste base, the tangible base, the space element, the water element, the growth of form, the continuity of form, edible nutriment — this is the form that is not clung-to and invisible.
