[334] [Sakavādin:] Past form (rūpa) exists; past form does not abandon its state of being past?
[Paravādin:] Yes.
[Sakavādin:] Is past form permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change?
[Paravādin:] It should not be said thus. …
[Sakavādin:] Is it not that past form is impermanent, unstable, non-eternal, subject to change?
[Paravādin:] Yes.
[Sakavādin:] If past form is impermanent … subject to change, then indeed it should not be said that "past form exists; past form does not abandon its state of being past."
