[530] "For whomever the form base (rūpāyatana) ceases, does the dhamma base (dhammāyatana) cease for that one?"
"Yes (āmantā)."
"Or rather, for whomever the dhamma base ceases, does the form base cease for that one?"
"For those without form (arūpaka) who are passing away, their dhamma base ceases, but their form base does not cease; for those with form (sarūpaka) who are passing away, their dhamma base ceases and their form base ceases."
