16.1
‘Lābhaṃ paṭicca vinicchayo’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā lābhaṃ paṭicca vinicchayo.
‘Gaining material things gives rise to evaluation’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
16.2
Lābho ca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, sabbaso lābhe asati lābhanirodhā api nu kho vinicchayo paññāyethā”ti?
Suppose there were totally and utterly no gaining of material things for anyone anywhere. When there’s no gaining of material things at all, with the cessation of gaining material things, would evaluation still be found?”
16.3
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
16.4
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo vinicchayassa, yadidaṃ lābho.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of evaluation, namely the gaining of material things.
