Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 49.6

49.6

佛告阿難：「善哉！善哉！應如是答。所以者何？色是生滅法，受、想、行、識是生滅法。知色是生滅法者，名為知色；知受、想、行、識是生滅法者，名為知識。」

The Buddha told Ānanda, “Good, good! You should answer him in this way. Why is that? Form is something that arises and ceases. Feeling … conception … volition … consciousness is something that arises and ceases. Knowing that form is something that arises and ceases is called knowing form. Knowing that feeling … conception … volition … consciousness is something that arises and ceases is called knowing feeling … conception … volition … consciousness.”
