30.17

如是觀筏蹉至佛不答有無者，結成置記也。筏蹉意樂，我有是常，我無謂斷。佛觀此意，故不為答。說有違理，說無斷善，置記之答於斯盡焉。

[The phrase] "Thus regarding Vatsa… the Buddha answered neither existence nor non-existence" concludes [the explanation of] setting aside [the question without] prediction. Vatsa's inclination was that if a self exists, it is eternal, and if a self does not exist, it is annihilation. The Buddha regarded this intention, and therefore did not answer him. To speak of existence would contradict principle; to speak of non-existence would sever wholesome roots. The answer by setting aside [the question] is fully treated here.
