Early Monastic Buddhism v1.c10.23

v1.c10.23

The *Milindapañha* raises the question whether *attā* is something different from the khandhas and whether it is an active agent living within the body and acting through the organs of sense. This is refuted by Nāgasena by the argument that as its activity ceases when the organs of sense cease to work, so it cannot be said to have a separate and independent existence of its own.³
