1"Bhikkhus, I will teach you the Dhamma for the full understanding of all clinging. [n.24] For the four kinds of clinging (upādāna), see SN12.2, 45:173; for the three kinds of full understanding (pariññā), see n. 11 above. Spk paraphrases: "For the full understanding of all four kinds of clinging by the three kinds of full understanding." Listen to that …
"And what, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma for the full understanding of all clinging? In dependence on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as condition, feeling comes to be. sn.iv.33 Seeing thus, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards the eye, towards forms, towards eye-consciousness, towards eye-contact, towards feeling. Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion the mind is liberated. With its deliverance [n.25] Vimokkhā. An unusual construction. One would have expected vimuttiyā, the noun more directly related to vimuccati. he understands: ‘Clinging has been fully understood by me.’
"In dependence on the ear and sounds … In dependence on the mind and mental phenomena, mind-consciousness arises. The meeting of the three is contact. With contact as condition, feeling comes to be. Seeing thus, the instructed noble disciple experiences revulsion towards the mind, towards mental phenomena, towards mind-consciousness, towards mind-contact, towards feeling. Experiencing revulsion, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion the mind is liberated. With its deliverance he understands: ‘Clinging has been fully understood by me.’
"This, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma for the full understanding of all clinging."

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sabbupādānapariññāya dhammo? Cakkhuñca paṭicca rūpe ca uppajjati cakkhuviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhusmimpi nibbindati, rūpesupi nibbindati, cakkhuviññāṇepi nibbindati, cakkhusamphassepi nibbindati, vedanāyapi nibbindati. Nibbindaṁ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimokkhā ‘pariññātaṁ me upādānan’ti pajānāti.
Sotañca paṭicca sadde ca uppajjati … ghānañca paṭicca gandhe ca … jivhañca paṭicca rase ca … kāyañca paṭicca phoṭṭhabbe ca … manañca paṭicca dhamme ca uppajjati manoviññāṇaṁ. Tiṇṇaṁ saṅgati phasso. Phassapaccayā vedanā. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako manasmimpi nibbindati, dhammesupi nibbindati, manoviññāṇepi nibbindati, manosamphassepi nibbindati, vedanāyapi nibbindati.
