[109] "But if, Sāriputta, they were to ask you thus: 'Friend Sāriputta, what is the source of clinging (upādāna)? … From what does clinging arise?' — being asked thus, Sāriputta, how would you answer?"
"If, venerable sir, they were to ask me thus: 'Friend Sāriputta, what is the source of clinging? … From what does clinging arise?' — being asked thus, venerable sir, I would answer thus: 'Clinging, friend, has craving (taṇhā) as its source … clinging arises from craving.' Being asked thus, venerable sir, I would answer thus."
