Kathavatthu 4.4.28

4.4.28.1

Arahatā cattāri phalāni paṭiladdhāni tehi ca aparihīnoti, arahā catūhi phalehi samannāgatoti?

If four fruits have been attained by an arahant and he has not fallen away from them, is an arahant endowed with the four fruits?

Theravādin: I grant they have acquired them, and have not fallen away from them. But I say that, if you affirm that they are endowed with the Fruits, you must no less affirm a fortiori that they are endowed with the respective Paths. But by pushing the argument a step further, we have seen that you were landed in the absurdity of ascribing corruptions to saints.

4.4.28.3

Arahatā cattāro maggā paṭiladdhā tehi ca aparihīnoti, arahā catūhi maggehi samannāgatoti?

If four paths have been attained by an arahant and he has not fallen away from them, is an arahant endowed with the four paths?
