[1664] Sakavādin: Is form (rūpa) accompanied by a root-cause (sahetuka)?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: Is it something having an object (sārammaṇa)? Does there exist adverting (āvajjanā) of it … aspiration (paṇidhi)?
Paravādin: It should not be said thus. …
Sakavādin: Is it not without an object (anārammaṇa)? Is there no adverting of it … aspiration?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: If it is without an object, and there is no adverting of it … aspiration, then surely it should not be said that form is accompanied by a root-cause.
