"Is it certainly so, Venerable Sir, that existence transforms into existence, [and] non-existence transforms into non-existence?"
"Yes, Gautama! Existence transforms into existence, [and] non-existence transforms into non-existence."
"Venerable Sir, as existence transforms into existence and non-existence transforms into non-existence, is that by exertion or spontaneously?"
"Gautama! By exertion too does it [transform into existence, and non-existence transform into non-existence],
and spontaneously too does it [transform into existence, and non-existence transform into non-existence]."
"Venerable Sir, just as according to you existence transforms into existence, does non-existence likewise transform into non-existence according to you? And just as non-existence transforms into non-existence according to you, does existence likewise transform into existence according to you?"
"Yes, Gautama! Just as according to me existence transforms into existence, so according to me non-existence transforms into non-existence.
Just as according to me non-existence transforms into non-existence, so according to me existence transforms into existence."
"Is it certainly so, Venerable Sir, that existence is intelligible in existence, [and] non-existence is intelligible in non-existence?"
"Yes, Gautama! Existence is intelligible in existence, [and] non-existence is intelligible in non-existence."
"Venerable Sir, as existence is intelligible in existence and non-existence is intelligible in non-existence, is that by exertion or spontaneously?"
"Gautama! By exertion too is it [intelligible in existence, and non-existence intelligible in non-existence],
and spontaneously too is it [intelligible in existence, and non-existence intelligible in non-existence]."
