[1629] [Sakavādin:] "One endowed with eye-consciousness (cakkhuviññāṇa) would not die?" [Paravādin:] "Yes." [Sakavādin:] "Is there that fixed order (niyāma) by which, being so fixed (niyata), one endowed with eye-consciousness would not die?" [Paravādin:] "There is not." [Sakavādin:] "If there is not that fixed order by which, being so fixed, one endowed with eye-consciousness would not die, then indeed it should not be said: 'One endowed with eye-consciousness would not die.'" [Here ends] the Third Discussion on Perception and Feeling (Tatiyasaññāvedayitakathā). __________________ Discussion on Conducing to [Rebirth among] the Non-percipient Beings (Asaññasattūpikākathā)
