[681] [Sakavādin:] "Is it not the case that a supramundane (lokuttara) phenomenon (dhamma) is not a basis for hatred (dosa), not a basis for anger (kopa), not a basis for repulsion (paṭigha)?" [Paravādin:] "Yes." [Sakavādin:] "If a supramundane phenomenon is not a basis for hatred, not a basis for anger, not a basis for repulsion, then indeed it should not be said that 'the speech (vohāra) of the Buddha, the Blessed One, is supramundane.'"
