[344] Through the view grasping an extreme (antaggāhikā diṭṭhi), "The Tathāgata exists after death," in what five ways is there misapprehension (abhinivesa)?
"Form is subject to death right here; after the breaking up of the body the Tathāgata exists, persists, arises, and is produced" — this view is an adherence through misapprehension (abhinivesaparāmāsa); by that view that extreme is grasped, hence it is a view grasping an extreme. The view is not the basis (vatthu); the basis is not the view; the view is one thing, the basis another. The view together with the basis is the first view grasping the extreme "The Tathāgata exists after death." A view grasping an extreme is wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) … These are fetters, but not views.
"Feeling (vedanā) is subject to death right here … perception is subject to death right here … volitional formations are subject to death right here … consciousness is subject to death right here; after the breaking up of the body the Tathāgata exists, persists, arises, and is produced" — this view is an adherence through misapprehension; by that view that extreme is grasped, hence it is a view grasping an extreme … Through the view grasping the extreme "The Tathāgata exists after death," there is misapprehension in these five ways.
