Verse 64.258
षडिन्द्रियं भवति तथ स्पर्शजातं स्पर्शो च हेतु भवे वेदनानां ।
संवेदयन्तो जायति तृष्णालु तृष्णाप्रत्ययं भवति उपादानं ॥ २५८ ॥
ṣaḍindriyaṃ bhavati tatha sparśajātaṃ sparśo ca hetu bhave vedanānāṃ |
saṃvedayanto jāyati tṛṣṇālu tṛṣṇāpratyayaṃ bhavati upādānaṃ || 258 ||
“These six faculties of sense thus result in contact. And contact will become the cause of the feelings. He who feels becomes avid with craving. Because of craving there comes to be grasping. (258)
