[523] For whomever the eye base (cakkhāyatana) ceases, does the form base (rūpāyatana) cease for him?
Yes.
Or, for whomever the form base ceases, does the eye base cease for him?
For those possessed of form but without eye who are passing away, their form base ceases, but their eye base does not cease; for those possessed of eye who are passing away, their form base ceases and their eye base ceases.
