Khīṇakāmarāgoti ettha kāmaṃ bhagavato sabbepi kilesā khīṇā. Brāhmaṇo pana te na jānāti. Attano jānanaṭṭhāneyeva guṇaṃ katheti. Vigatacāpalloti – ‘‘pattamaṇḍanā cīvaramaṇḍanā senāsanamaṇḍanā imassa vā pūtikāyassa…pe… kelanā paṭikelanā’’ti (vibha. 854) evaṃ vuttacāpallā virahito.

“One whose sensual desire is destroyed”: here indeed, all defilements are destroyed in the Blessed One. The brahmin, however, does not know them.
