Cakkhundarīya

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (2) · Vol. 39 · Section 1150

[1150] For whomever the eye faculty (cakkhundriya) does not arise, will the nose faculty (ghānindriya) not arise for that one? For all who are passing away, and for those without eyes (acakkhuka) who are being reborn — for them the eye faculty does not arise, but it is not the case that for them the nose faculty will not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence (pañcavokāra), for those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) in the formless (arūpa), and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere (rūpāvacara) or the formless sphere (arūpāvacara), will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are passing away, the eye faculty does not arise and the nose faculty will not arise. Or rather, for whomever the nose faculty will not arise, does the eye faculty not arise for that one? For those in their final existence who are being reborn into the five-constituent existence, and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere or the formless sphere, will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are being reborn, the nose faculty will not arise, but it is not the case that for them the eye faculty does not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence, for those in their final existence in the formless, and for those who, having been reborn in the form sphere or the formless sphere, will attain final Nibbāna — for them, as they are passing away, the nose faculty will not arise and the eye faculty does not arise.
