[1][pts][bodh] I Hear Tell:

Once upon a time, The Lucky Man,
Sāvatthi Town revisiting,
Anāthapiṇḍika Park,
Jeta Grove.

"The diversity of data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of the diverse own-impacts,
the diversity of own-impacts
results in the reproduction of the diverse sensations.[1]

And what, beggars, are the diverse data?

Eye data
ear data,
nose data,
tongue data,
body data,
mind data.

These beggars, are what are called the diverse data.

And what, beggars,
are the diverse data
that result in the reproduction of the diverse own-impacts,
the diverse own-impacts
that result in the reproduction of the diverse sensations?

Eye data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of eye own-impact,
eye own-impact
results in the reproduction of eye own-impact sensation.

Ear data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of ear own-impact,
ear own-impact
results in the reproduction of ear own-impact sensation.

Nose data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of nose own-impact,
nose own-impact
results in the reproduction of nose own-impact sensation.

Tongue data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of tongue own-impact,
tongue own-impact
results in the reproduction of tongue own-impact sensation.

Body data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of body own-impact,
body own-impact
results in the reproduction of body own-impact sensation.

Mind data, beggars,
results in the reproduction of mind own-impact,

Such then, beggars,
are the diverse data
that result in the reproduction of the diverse own-impacts,
the diverse own-impacts
that result in the reproduction of the diverse sensations."
