Sampasadaniyasutta 19.12

19.12

‘Kiṃ panāvuso sāriputta, atthetarahi aññe samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā bhagavatā samasamā sambodhiyan’ti, evaṃ puṭṭho ahaṃ, bhante, ‘no’ti vadeyyaṃ.

But if they were to ask: ‘Reverend Sāriputta, is there any other ascetic or brahmin at present whose direct knowledge is equal to the Buddha when it comes to awakening?’ I would tell them ‘No.’
