Abhidhammapiṭaka · Paṭṭhāna (4) · Vol. 43 · Section 802

[802] A phenomenon (dhamma) that is not of the formless sphere (na-arūpāvacara) is a condition for a phenomenon that is not of the formless sphere by prenascence condition (purejāta-paccaya): object-prenascence (ārammaṇa-purejāta) and base-prenascence (vatthu-purejāta). Object-prenascence: the eye … the base (vatthu) as impermanent … grief arises. One sees a form 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 (cakkhuviññāṇa); the tangible-object base (phoṭṭhabbāyatana) (is a condition) for body-consciousness (kāyaviññāṇa). 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 of the formless sphere by prenascence condition. A phenomenon that is not of the formless sphere is a condition for a phenomenon of the formless sphere by prenascence condition: base-prenascence: the base is a condition for the aggregates of the formless sphere by prenascence condition. … is a condition by postnascence condition (pacchājāta-paccaya): two; is a condition by repetition condition (āsevana-paccaya): three.
