[442] Then the Blessed One addressed a certain bhikkhu: "Come, bhikkhu, in my name summon the bhikkhu Sāti, the fisherman's son, saying: 'Friend Sāti, the Teacher summons you.'"
"Yes, venerable sir," that bhikkhu replied to the Blessed One, and he approached the bhikkhu Sāti, the fisherman's son; having approached, he said to the bhikkhu Sāti, the fisherman's son: "Friend Sāti, the Teacher summons you."
"Yes, friend," the bhikkhu Sāti, the fisherman's son, replied to that bhikkhu, and he approached the Blessed One; having approached and paid homage to the Blessed One, he sat down to one side. As the bhikkhu Sāti, the fisherman's son, was seated to one side, the Blessed One said this to him: "Is it true, Sāti, that such a pernicious view has arisen in you: 'As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, it is this very same consciousness (viññāṇa) that runs on and wanders through the round of rebirths, not another'?"
"Just so, venerable sir. As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, it is this very same consciousness that runs on and wanders through the round of rebirths, not another."
"Sāti, what is that consciousness?"
"Venerable sir, it is that which speaks and feels, that which experiences here and there the results (vipāka) of good and evil deeds (kamma)."
"Foolish man, to whom do you know me to have taught the Dhamma in that way? Foolish man, have I not stated in many ways that consciousness is dependently arisen (paṭiccasamuppanna), since without a condition there is no coming into being of consciousness? And yet, foolish man, by your own wrong grasp you both misrepresent us, and dig up your own foundation, and generate much demerit. Indeed, foolish man, this will be to your harm and suffering (dukkha) for a long time."
