Upādinnattika

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (1) · Vol. 40 · Section 1529

[1529] 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 prenascence condition (purejāta-paccaya) — object-prenascence (ārammaṇa-purejāta), base-prenascence (vatthu-purejāta). Object-prenascence: 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. With that as object, lust (rāga) arises, grief arises; when the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, the resultant (vipāka) arises as registration (tadārammaṇatā). They contemplate with insight the ear … the nose, the tongue, the body, forms that are clung-to and subject to clinging … … odors … tastes … tangibles … the base (vatthu) as impermanent, as suffering, as not-self; they relish them, they delight in them. With that as object, lust arises, grief arises; when the wholesome and the unwholesome have ceased, the resultant arises as registration. The form base (rūpāyatana) that is clung-to and subject to clinging [is a condition] for eye-consciousness (cakkhu-viññāṇa); the odor base that is clung-to and subject to clinging … … the taste base … the tangible base is a condition for body-consciousness (kāya-viññāṇa) by prenascence condition. Base-prenascence: The eye base (cakkhāyatana) [is a condition] for eye-consciousness, the body base (kāyāyatana) [is a condition] for body-consciousness; the base (vatthu) is a condition for the aggregates (khandhā) that are clung-to and subject to clinging by prenascence condition.
