dhatu-, m.: element,

yavat, rel.adv.: until,

No eye element..., until we come to: no consciousness-element

    Here Avalokitewvara enumerates so called elements. The eye element is combination of the sense of sight, object and corresponding sight-consciousness. The complete enumeration was skipped here, we are again supposed to fill in the ear-element, nose-element, tongue-element and body-element.
