[669] For whomever, wherever, the form base (rūpāyatana) has ceased — will the mind base (manāyatana) cease for that one there?
For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence (pañcavokāra) and for the non-percipient beings (asaññasattā), the form base has ceased for them there, but it is not the case that the mind base will cease for them there. For the others in the five-constituent existence, for them there both the form base has ceased and the mind base will cease.
Or rather, for whomever, wherever, the mind base will cease — has the form base ceased for that one there?
For those being reborn into the Pure Abodes (Suddhāvāsa) and for the formless beings (arūpā), the mind base will cease for them there, but it is not the case that the form base has ceased for them there. For the others in the five-constituent existence, for them there both the mind base will cease and the form base has ceased.
