Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different.

(2) Auditive contact is continually changing,

Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different.

(3) Olfactive contact is continually changing,

Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different.

(4) Gustative contact is continually changing,

Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different.

(5) Bodily contact is continually changing,

Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different.

Gone, the moment it arises,

and bound to become different. [1]
