Dependent on the invisible-impinging great elements and the water element (āpo-dhātu), visible-impinging mind-originated form and kamma-produced form, [that is,] derived form (upādā-rūpa), [arise]. Dependent on the tangible-object base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) and the water element, the form base (rūpāyatana) [arises]. External … nutriment-originated … temperature-originated …
For non-percipient beings (asaññasattā): dependent on the invisible-impinging great elements and the water element, visible-impinging kamma-produced form, [that is,] derived form, [arises].
