[214] A visible phenomenon (sanidassana dhamma) is a condition for an invisible phenomenon (anidassana dhamma) by presence condition (atthi-paccaya): [One contemplates] visible form as impermanent … grief arises. One sees a form with the divine eye. The form base (rūpāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa) by presence condition. An invisible phenomenon is a condition for an invisible phenomenon by presence condition: conascent (sahajāta), prenascent (purejāta), postnascent (pacchājāta), nutriment (āhāra), faculty (indriya). Conascent: one invisible aggregate (khandha) is a condition for three aggregates and for invisible mind-originated matter (cittasamuṭṭhāna-rūpa) by presence condition; two aggregates … (abbreviated) up to the non-percipient beings (asaññasattā). Prenascent: [one contemplates] the eye … the base (vatthu) as impermanent … grief arises. One hears a sound with the divine ear element (dibbā sotadhātu). The sound base (saddāyatana) is a condition for ear-consciousness (sotaviññāṇa), the tangible base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness (kāyaviññāṇa), the eye base (cakkhāyatana) for eye-consciousness, the body base (kāyāyatana) for body-consciousness; the base is a condition for the invisible aggregates by presence condition. Postnascent: the invisible aggregates are a condition for this prenascent invisible body by presence condition. Edible food (kabaḷīkāra āhāra) is a condition for this invisible body by presence condition. The material life faculty (rūpa-jīvitindriya) is a condition for invisible kamma-produced matter (kaṭattā-rūpa) by presence condition. An invisible phenomenon is a condition for a visible phenomenon by presence condition: conascent, postnascent, nutriment, faculty. Conascent: the invisible aggregates are a condition for visible mind-originated matter by presence condition. At the moment of rebirth-linking (paṭisandhikkhaṇa), the primary elements (mahābhūtā) are a condition for visible mind-originated matter [and] kamma-produced matter — derived matter (upādā-rūpa) — by presence condition. External [matter] … nutriment-originated [matter] … temperature-originated [matter] … For the non-percipient beings, the primary elements are a condition for what is visible by presence condition. Postnascent: the invisible aggregates are a condition for this prenascent visible body by presence condition. Edible food is a condition for this visible body by presence condition. The material life faculty is a condition for visible kamma-produced matter by presence condition. An invisible phenomenon is a condition for a visible phenomenon and for an invisible phenomenon by presence condition: conascent, postnascent, nutriment, faculty. Conascent: one invisible aggregate is a condition for three aggregates and for visible and invisible mind-originated matter by presence condition; two aggregates … At the moment of rebirth-linking, the primary elements are a condition for visible and invisible mind-originated matter [and] kamma-produced matter — derived matter — by presence condition; external [matter] … nutriment-originated [matter] … temperature-originated [matter] … For the non-percipient beings, the primary elements are a condition for visible and invisible kamma-produced matter — derived matter — by presence condition. A visible phenomenon and an invisible phenomenon are a condition for an invisible phenomenon by presence condition: prenascent — the form base and the base are a condition for the invisible aggregates by presence condition; the form base and the eye base are a condition for eye-consciousness by presence condition. … is a condition by absence condition (natthi-paccaya). … is a condition by disappearance condition (vigata-paccaya). … is a condition by non-disappearance condition (avigata-paccaya).
