[146] Bhikkhus, when one does not intend, and does not plan, and does not have any underlying tendency, this does not become a basis (ārammaṇa) for the maintenance of consciousness (viññāṇa). When there is no basis, there is no establishing of consciousness. When that consciousness is unestablished and does not come to growth, there is no production of renewed existence (punabbhava) in the future. When there is no production of renewed existence in the future, future birth, aging, death (jāti jarā maraṇa), sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease. Such is the cessation (nirodha) of this entire mass of suffering (dukkha).
