[849] Paravādin: Should it not be said, "Perception (saññā) exists among non-percipient beings (asaññasattā)"?
Sakavādin: Yes.
Paravādin: But was it not said by the Blessed One: "Bhikkhus, there are devas named non-percipient beings; but owing to the arising of perception those devas pass away from that group" — is there not indeed such a discourse (suttanta)?
Sakavādin: Yes.
Paravādin: Well then, perception does exist among non-percipient beings.
