Mind-and-mental-factor phenomena (citta-cetasikā dhammā) are a condition for mind-originated material phenomena (cittasamuṭṭhāna-rūpa) by way of dependence condition. The primary elements are a condition for derivative materiality (upādā-rūpa) by way of dependence condition. The eye base (cakkhāyatana) is a condition for the eye-consciousness element (cakkhuviññāṇa-dhātu) and for the phenomena associated with it by way of dependence condition.
