[648] For whomever, wherever, the nose base (ghānāyatana) does not cease, will the mind base (manāyatana) not cease for that one there?
For those being reborn into the sense sphere (kāmāvacara), for those without the nose (aghānaka) who are passing away from the sense sphere, and for form-sphere (rūpāvacara) and formless-sphere (arūpāvacara) beings — for them, there, the nose base does not cease, yet it is not the case that for them, there, the mind base will not cease. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the form sphere or in the formless sphere, and for non-percipient beings (asaññasatta) — for them, there, the nose base does not cease, and the mind base will not cease.
Or else, for whomever, wherever, the mind base will not cease, does the nose base not cease for that one there?
For those attaining final Nibbāna in the sense sphere — for them, there, the mind base will not cease, yet it is not the case that for them, there, the nose base does not cease. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the form sphere or in the formless sphere, and for non-percipient beings — for them, there, the mind base will not cease, and the nose base does not cease.
