7.1
‘Taṇhāpaccayā upādānan’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ.
‘Craving is a requirement for grasping’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
7.2
Taṇhā ca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, seyyathidaṃ—
Suppose there were totally and utterly no craving for anyone anywhere.
7.3
rūpataṇhā saddataṇhā gandhataṇhā rasataṇhā phoṭṭhabbataṇhā dhammataṇhā, sabbaso taṇhāya asati taṇhānirodhā api nu kho upādānaṃ paññāyethā”ti?
That is, craving for sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and ideas. When there’s no craving at all, with the cessation of craving, would grasping still be found?”
7.4
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
7.5
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo upādānassa, yadidaṃ taṇhā.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of grasping, namely craving.
