Upādinnattika

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (1) · Vol. 40 · Section 1483

[1483] A phenomenon (dhamma) that is clung to and subject to clinging (upādinnupādāniya) is a condition for a phenomenon that is clung to and subject to clinging by object condition (ārammaṇa-paccaya): Trainees (sekkhā) or worldlings (puthujjanā) contemplate the eye with insight as impermanent, as suffering (dukkha), as not-self; they relish it, they delight in it; taking that as object, lust (rāga) arises, grief (domanassa) arises; when the wholesome and the unwholesome (kusalākusala) have ceased, the resultant (vipāka) arises as registration (tadārammaṇatā). They contemplate with insight the ear … the nose, the tongue, the body … visible forms that are clung to and subject to clinging … odours, tastes, tangibles, the base (vatthu) … the aggregates (khandhā) that are clung to and subject to clinging as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self; they relish them, they delight in them; taking that as object, lust arises, grief arises; when the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, the resultant arises as registration. The visible-form base (rūpāyatana) that is clung to and subject to clinging [is a condition] for eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa); the odour base (gandhāyatana) that is clung to and subject to clinging … the taste base (rasāyatana) … the tangible base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) is a condition for body-consciousness (kāyaviññāṇa) by object condition.
