“Yo hi koci, āvuso, bhikkhu vā bhikkhunī vā mama santike arahat­tap­pattiṃ byākaroti, sabbo so catūhi maggehi, etesaṃ vā aññatarena.

Katamehi catūhi? Idha, āvuso, bhikkhu sama­tha­pubbaṅ­gamaṃ vipassanaṃ bhāveti. Tassa sama­tha­pubbaṅ­gamaṃ vipassanaṃ bhāvayato maggo sañjāyati. So taṃ maggaṃ āsevati bhāveti bahulīkaroti. Tassa taṃ maggaṃ āsevato bhāvayato bahulīkaroto saṃyojanāni pahīyanti, anusayā byantīhonti.
