(5) Pre-nascent Condition 107. A phenomenon without initial and sustained application is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for a phenomenon without initial and sustained application – object pre-nascent, base pre-nascent. Object pre-nascent: one sees a form with the divine eye, one hears a sound with the divine ear element, the visible object base for eye-consciousness...etc. the tangible object base for body-consciousness is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition. Base pre-nascent: the eye base for eye-consciousness...etc. the body base for body-consciousness...etc. the base for aggregates without initial and sustained application, and for sustained application, is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition. (1) A phenomenon without initial and sustained application is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for a phenomenon with initial and sustained application – object pre-nascent, base pre-nascent. Object pre-nascent: the eye an... perceives as impermanent, as suffering, as non-self... in tangibles... perceives the base as impermanent, as suffering, as non-self, relishes, delights in it, because of that, lust arises... sorrow arises. Base-pre-nascent – The base is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for the aggregates accompanied by initial application and sustained application. (2) The unapplied and unsustained phenomenon is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for the phenomenon that is merely unapplied and unsustained – object-pre-nascent, base-pre-nascent. Object-pre-nascent – perceives the eye as impermanent, as suffering, as non-self, relishes, delights in it, because of that, initial application arises... perceives the base as impermanent, as suffering, as non-self, relishes, delights in it, because of that, initial application arises. Base-pre-nascent – The base is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for the aggregates that are merely unapplied and unsustained, and for initial application. (3) The unapplied and unsustained phenomenon is a condition by way of pre-nascent condition for the phenomenon that is merely unapplied and unsustained, and for the unapplied and unsustained phenomenon.
