[Paravādin:] "Yes."
[Sakavādin:] "What exists, and what does not exist?"
[Paravādin:] "Future phenomena (dhammā) that are bound to arise (uppādino) — those exist; future phenomena that are not bound to arise (anuppādino) — those do not exist."
[Sakavādin:] "Future phenomena that are bound to arise — do those exist?"
[Paravādin:] "Yes."
[Sakavādin:] "Future phenomena that are not bound to arise — do those exist?"
[Paravādin:] "It should not be said thus. …"
[Sakavādin:] "Future phenomena that are not bound to arise — do those not exist?"
[Paravādin:] "Yes."
[Sakavādin:] "Future phenomena that are bound to arise — do those not exist?"
[Paravādin:] "It should not be said thus. …"
[Sakavādin:] "Future phenomena that are bound to arise — do those exist?"
[Paravādin:] "Yes."
[Sakavādin:] "Is it not the case that future phenomena that are bound to arise are not yet born (ajātā)?"
[Paravādin:] "Yes."
[Sakavādin:] "If future phenomena that are bound to arise are not yet born, then indeed it should not be said: 'Future phenomena that are bound to arise — those exist.'"
