If the body precedes, why is it said that only because of afflictions can there be a body? If afflictions precede, by whom were they made, and where do they abide?' The Buddha answered Śreṇika: 'Although afflictions and the body are simultaneous and neither precedes nor follows, only on account of afflictions can there be a body, and never because of a body can there be afflictions.' Although the non-Buddhist posed the challenge in terms of a first beginning, the Buddha answered him in terms of beginninglessness; therefore one knows there is no increase. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.5.48) - [Next: 5.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.5.50) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.5.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.5.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.5.49) · Pramāṇa
