Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (4) · Vol. 43 · Section 412

[412] A phenomenon that is not a clinging (no-upādāno dhammo) is a condition for a phenomenon that is not a clinging by prenascence condition (purejāta-paccaya): object-prenascence (ārammaṇa-purejāta), base-prenascence (vatthu-purejāta). Object-prenascence: the eye (cakkhu) … the base (vatthu) as impermanent … grief (domanassa) arises. One sees a form (rūpa) with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu); one hears a sound with the divine ear element (dibbā sotadhātu). The form base (rūpāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness (cakkhu-viññāṇa), the tangible base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) for body-consciousness (kāya-viññāṇa). Base-prenascence: the eye base (cakkhāyatana) is a condition for eye-consciousness, the body base (kāyāyatana) … The base is a condition for the aggregates (khandhā) that are not clingings by prenascence condition. A phenomenon that is not a clinging is a condition for a phenomenon that is a clinging (upādāno dhammo) by prenascence condition: object-prenascence, base-prenascence. Object-prenascence: one relishes and delights in the eye … the base; with that as object, lust (rāga) arises, view (diṭṭhi) … Base-prenascence: the base is a condition for the clingings by prenascence condition. A phenomenon that is not a clinging is a condition for a phenomenon that is a clinging and for a phenomenon that is not a clinging by prenascence condition: object-prenascence, base-prenascence. Object-prenascence: one relishes and delights in the eye … the base; with that as object, the clingings and the associated aggregates (sampayuttakā khandhā) arise. Base-prenascence: the base is a condition for the clingings and the associated aggregates by prenascence condition.
