Sampasadaniyasutta 19.10

19.10

‘kiṃ nu kho, āvuso sāriputta, ahesuṃ atītamaddhānaṃ aññe samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā bhagavatā samasamā sambodhiyan’ti, evaṃ puṭṭho ahaṃ, bhante, ‘evan’ti vadeyyaṃ.

‘Reverend Sāriputta, is there any other ascetic or brahmin—whether past or future—whose direct knowledge is equal to the Buddha when it comes to awakening?’ I would tell them ‘Yes.’
