Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sabbupādānapariññāya dhammo?
And what is the principle for the complete understanding of all grasping?
Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with the eye, sights, eye consciousness, eye contact, and feeling.
