"Subhūti, what do you think? Can an arhat form this thought: 'I have attained the fruit of an arhat'?" Subhūti said: "No, World-Honored One. Why is this? In reality there is no dharma named arhat. World-Honored One, if an arhat forms this thought: 'I have attained arhatship,' they would be attached to a self, a person, a sentient being, and a life-span. World-Honored One, the Buddha has said that among those who attain the samādhi of non-contention, I am foremost; the World-Honored One has said that I am an arhat free from desire. World-Honored One, I do not form this thought: 'I am an arhat free from desire.' World-Honored One, if I formed this thought: 'I have attained arhatship,' the World-Honored One would not have predicted that I am foremost in the practice of non-contention."
