The Law of Dependent Arising (Paṭicca Samuppāda) Part (410)

We have often explained in our books that the theory of interim birth is unacceptable. How did this misconception come about? One reason is the misinterpretation of the simile. Here Vacchagotta questions, not regarding the gap between two existences, but regarding the passage from one existence to the next. There is also a very intricate language problem visible here. In the process of the Buddha word passing from one generation to the next generation, confusion regarding phrases and words occurred. Sometimes the version in one written copy differed from another. Those who profess the theory of antarābhava read 'anuppatto' which means 'reached' as 'anuppanno' which means 'not born'. Anuppatto means the opposite of anuppanno. These theorizers explain their position thus.

A being lays down the body. Did he enter the next birth? No, not yet. 'anuppanno' 'not born'. What is the grasping during this gap? That is their interpretation. But I have emphatically pointed out the special word 'aññataram' that occurs here. It means 'a certain'. We use this adjective always with something existing, not with something non-existant. If we select something really existing and use the word aññam before it, it is correct. This is a very subtle point. But why go so far? It's clear that Vaccha questions how one birth leads to another. These theorizers, imagining that there is a time gap between the two, have in the recent past continuously argued that an interim birth exists. They have not understood the suttas correctly.

One thing is clear however. The Buddha confirms that craving itself is the grasping at the moment of death. It can be proved with several examples. A synonym for craving is 'bhavanetti'. Netti is a projection, a point that juts out. Bhavanetti 'bent' is another term used. During a rainy season like this, somebody levels a strip of high ground leaving a projection at the top. With a shower of rain that projection would collapse. Similarly, the projection in continuous becoming is craving. Why so? Because there is a shortcoming, a possibility to collapse. 'ūno
