Cakkhundarīya

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Yamaka (2) · Vol. 39 · Section 1189

[1189] For whomever, wherever, the eye faculty (cakkhundriya) does not arise, will the life faculty (jīvitindriya) not arise for that one there? For all who are passing away, and for those without eyes (acakkhuka) who are being reborn: for them there the eye faculty does not arise, but it is not the case that for them there the life faculty will not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence (pañcavokāra), and for those in their final existence (pacchimabhavika) in the formless (arūpa) plane: for them there the eye faculty does not arise and the life faculty will not arise. Or, for whomever, wherever, the life faculty will not arise, does the eye faculty not arise for that one there? For those in their final existence who are being reborn into the five-constituent existence: for them there the life faculty will not arise, but it is not the case that for them there the eye faculty does not arise. For those attaining final Nibbāna in the five-constituent existence, and for those in their final existence in the formless plane: for them there the life faculty will not arise and the eye faculty does not arise.
