[467] For whom the eye sense base (cakkhāyatana) does not arise, will the nose sense base (ghānāyatana) not arise for him?
For all who are passing away, and for those without eyes who are being reborn — for them the eye sense base does not arise, yet it is not the case that the nose sense base will not arise for them. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence (pañcavokāra), for those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) in the formless (arūpa) [realm], and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere (rūpāvacara) or the formless sphere (arūpāvacara), will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are passing away, the eye sense base does not arise and the nose sense base will not arise.
Or rather, for whom the nose sense base will not arise, does the eye sense base not arise for him?
For those in their final existence who are being reborn into the five-constituent existence, and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere or the formless sphere, will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are being reborn, the nose sense base will not arise, yet it is not the case that the eye sense base does not arise for them. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence, for those in their final existence in the formless [realm], and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere or the formless sphere, will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are passing away, the nose sense base will not arise and the eye sense base does not arise.
