' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — "What now being present, is grasping also present ; what conditions grasping ? " Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where craving is, there is grasping ; craving is the condition of grasping."
' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — " What now being present, is craving also present; what conditions craving?" Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where feeling is, there is craving: ; feeling is the condition of craving-."
' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred: — "What now being present, is feeling also present ; what conditions feeling ? " Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — [32] " Where contact is, there is feeling; contact is the condition of feeling."
1 Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — " What now being present, is contact also present; what conditions contact?" Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where is the sixfold held, there is contact ; the sixfold field is the condition of contact1."
' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred: — "What now being present, is the sixfold field also present ; what conditions the sixfold field ? " Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where name-and-form is, there is the sixfold field ; name-and-form is the condition of the sixfold field2."
' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — " What now being present, is name-andform also present ; what conditions name-and-form ? "

1 The sixfold field is the sphere of action of the six senses ; that is, our five senses, and the representative faculty.
2 Name-and-form is what we should call mind and body.
p. 26
Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where cognition is there is name-and-form ; cognition is the condition of name-and-form1."
' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — " What now being present, is cognition also present ; what conditions cognition ? ' Then, brethren, from attention to the cause arose the conviction through reason : — " Where name-and-form is, there is cognition ; name-and-form conditions cognition."
19. ' Then to Vipassi the Bodhisat, brethren, this occurred : — " Cognition turns back from name-andform ; it goes not beyond. Only as follows can one be born or stow old or die or fall from one condition or reappear in another ; that is, in that cognition is conditioned by name-and-form, and name-and-form by cognition 2, the sixfold field by name-and-form, contact by the sixfold field, feeling by contact, [33] craving by feeling, grasping by craving, becoming by grasping, birth by becoming, decay and dying by birth, and so too grief, lamentation, ill, sorrow and despair come to pass. Such is the coming to be of this entire body of 111."
' " Coming to be, coming to be ! " — at that thought, brethren, there arose to Vipassi the Bodhisat a vision into things not called before to mind, and knowledge arose, reason arose, wisdom arose, light arose.
