Arahantasutta

“Yo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvī, Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārī; Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya, Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyyā”ti.

“When a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, with defilements ended, bearing the final body: would they say, ‘I speak’, or even ‘they speak to me’?”

“Yo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvī, Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārī; Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya, Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyya; Loke samaññaṁ kusalo viditvā, Vohāramattena so vohareyyā”ti.

“When a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, with defilements ended, bearing the final body: they would say, ‘I speak’, and also ‘they speak to me’. Skillful, understanding the world’s labels, they’d use these terms as mere expressions.”

“Yo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvī, Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārī; Mānaṁ nu kho so upagamma bhikkhu, Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya; Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyyā”ti.

“When a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, with defilements ended, bearing the final body: is such a mendicant drawing close to conceit if they’d say, ‘I speak’, or even ‘they speak to me’?”

“Pahīnamānassa na santi ganthā, Vidhūpitā mānaganthassa sabbe; Sa vītivatto maññataṁ sumedho, Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya.

“Someone who has given up conceit has no ties, the ties of conceit are all dissipated. Though that intelligent person <j>has passed beyond conceiving, they’d still say, ‘I speak’,

Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyya, Loke samaññaṁ kusalo viditvā; Vohāramattena so vohareyyā”ti.

and also ‘they speak to me’. Skillful, understanding the world’s labels, they’d use these terms as mere expressions.”
