Cakkhundarīya

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (2) · Vol. 39 · Section 1082

[1082] For whomever the eye faculty (cakkhundriya) arises, will the joy faculty (somanassindriya) arise for that one? For those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) who are being reborn into the five-constituent existence (pañcavokāra), and for those possessed of eyes who, having been reborn with equanimity (upekkhā), will attain final Nibbāna — as these are being reborn, the eye faculty arises for them, but the joy faculty will not arise for them. For the other beings possessed of eyes who are being reborn, the eye faculty arises for them and the joy faculty will arise. Or, for whomever the joy faculty will arise, does the eye faculty arise for that one? For all who are passing away, and for those without eyes who are being reborn, the joy faculty will arise for them, but the eye faculty does not arise for them. For those possessed of eyes who are being reborn, the joy faculty will arise for them and the eye faculty arises.
