[1200] Sakavādin: "Is there no intermediate existence (antarābhava) between sense-sphere existence (kāmabhava) and form-sphere existence (rūpabhava)?" Paravādin: "Yes." Sakavādin: "If there is no intermediate existence between sense-sphere existence and form-sphere existence, then indeed you should not say: 'There is an intermediate existence.'" Sakavādin: "Is there no intermediate existence between form-sphere existence and formless existence (arūpabhava)?" Paravādin: "Yes." Sakavādin: "If there is no intermediate existence between form-sphere existence and formless existence, then indeed you should not say: 'There is an intermediate existence.'"
