[341]
Sakavādin: Past consciousness (viññāṇa) exists; past consciousness does not abandon its state of being past (atītabhāva)?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: Is past consciousness permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change?
Paravādin: It should not be said so. …
Sakavādin: Is not past consciousness impermanent, unstable, non-eternal, subject to change?
Paravādin: Yes.
Sakavādin: If past consciousness is impermanent, unstable, non-eternal, subject to change, then indeed it should not be said, "Past consciousness exists; past consciousness does not abandon its state of being past."
