答：《俱舍論》云「二果不值佛法亦成緣覺」，而不出三果文。但得那含竟值佛成羅漢，脫不值佛亦有成緣覺義。但此義既少，故經論不出之耳。

> Answer: The Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya states that 'those of the second fruit who do not encounter the Buddhadharma also become pratyekabuddhas', but there is no passage on the third fruit. However, having attained anāgāmin, if one encounters a buddha one becomes an arhat, and if by chance one does not encounter a buddha, there is also the possibility of becoming a pratyekabuddha. But because this case is rare, scriptures and treatises do not mention it.
