2.327
Regarding 'If one says that the aggregates are annihilated...' and so forth: since they accept that the aggregates are impermanent, and having accepted impermanence, their arising in succession clearly shows that there is no annihilation. The formal inference (anumāna) is: 'All post-mortem aggregates of those who have not yet attained arhatship are not annihilated; because they are accepted to be impermanent; just like their state in a previous life.' Regarding 'If you say that the self is annihilated, then what you previously spoke of as the coarse form composed of the four great elements...' and so forth: if it is the self that is annihilated, your previous assertion that the coarse physical body composed of the great elements suffers from diseases, boils, and so forth, and yet is annihilated after death, constitutes a contradiction.
