21.1
‘Viññāṇapaccayā nāmarūpan’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā viññāṇapaccayā nāmarūpaṃ.
‘Consciousness is a requirement for name and form’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
21.2
Viññāṇañca hi, ānanda, mātukucchismiṃ na okkamissatha, api nu kho nāmarūpaṃ mātukucchismiṃ samuccissathā”ti?
If consciousness were not conceived in the mother’s womb, would name and form coagulate there?”
21.3
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
21.4
“Viññāṇañca hi, ānanda, mātukucchismiṃ okkamitvā vokkamissatha, api nu kho nāmarūpaṃ itthattāya abhinibbattissathā”ti?
“If consciousness, after being conceived in the mother’s womb, were to be miscarried, would name and form be born into this place?”
21.5
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
21.6
“Viññāṇañca hi, ānanda, daharasseva sato vocchijjissatha kumārakassa vā kumārikāya vā, api nu kho nāmarūpaṃ vuddhiṃ virūḷhiṃ vepullaṃ āpajjissathā”ti?
“If the consciousness of a young boy or girl were to be cut off, would name and form achieve growth, increase, and maturity?”
21.7
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
21.8
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo nāmarūpassa—yadidaṃ viññāṇaṃ.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of name and form, namely consciousness.
