At Sāvatthī.
“रूपं, भिक्खवे, अनिच्चं। योपि हेतु, योपि पच्चयो रूपस्स उप्पादाय, सोपि अनिच्चो। अनिच्चसम्भूतं, भिक्खवे, रूपं कुतो निच्चं भविस्सति।
“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ. Yopi hetu, yopi paccayo rūpassa uppādāya, sopi anicco. Aniccasambhūtaṁ, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ kuto niccaṁ bhavissati.
“Bhikkhus, form is impermanent. The cause and reason that gives rise to form is also impermanent. Since form is produced by what is impermanent, how could it be permanent?

विञ्ञाणं अनिच्चं। योपि हेतु योपि पच्चयो विञ्ञाणस्स उप्पादाय, सोपि अनिच्चो। अनिच्चसम्भूतं, भिक्खवे, विञ्ञाणं कुतो निच्चं भविस्सति।

Consciousness is impermanent. The cause and reason that gives rise to consciousness is also impermanent. Since consciousness is produced by what is impermanent, how could it be permanent?
