[1309] Sakavādin: Does lust (rāga) arise with reference to the Deathless (amata)?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: Is the Deathless a basis for lust, enticing, desirable, intoxicating, binding, infatuating?
Paravādin: It should not be said thus. …
Sakavādin: Is it not so that the Deathless is not a basis for lust, not enticing, not desirable, not intoxicating, not binding, not infatuating?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: If the Deathless is not a basis for lust, not enticing, not desirable, not intoxicating, not binding, not infatuating, then indeed, good sir, it should not be said that lust arises with reference to the Deathless.
