[87] "Suffering (dukkha), Upavāṇa, has been declared by me to be dependently arisen. Dependent on what? Dependent on contact (phassa). One speaking thus would be stating what has been said by me and would not misrepresent me with what is untrue; he would explain in accordance with the Dhamma, and no legitimate consequence of his assertion would incur a ground for criticism.
"Therein, Upavāṇa, as for those ascetics and brahmins who declare suffering to be made by oneself, that too is conditioned by contact. As for those also … as for those also … as for those ascetics and brahmins who declare suffering to be fortuitously arisen, made neither by oneself nor by another, that too is conditioned by contact.
"Therein, Upavāṇa, as for those ascetics and brahmins who declare suffering to be made by oneself — that they should experience it apart from contact: such a thing is impossible. As for those also … as for those also … as for those ascetics and brahmins who declare suffering to be fortuitously arisen, made neither by oneself nor by another — that they should experience it apart from contact: such a thing is impossible."
