kevalī ṇaṃ bhaṃte! carimakammaṃ vā, carimaṇijjaraṃ vā jāṇai-pāsai?
haṃtā jāṇai-pāsai|
jahā ṇaṃ bhaṃte! kevalī carimakammaṃ vā, carimaṇijjaraṃ vā jāṇai-pāsai, tahā ṇaṃ chaumatthe vi carimakammaṃ vā, carimaṇijjaraṃ vā jāṇai-pāsai?
goyamā! no iṇaṭṭhe samaṭṭhe| soccā jāṇai-pāsai, pamāṇato vā| jahā ṇaṃ aṃtakareṇaṃ ālāvago tahā carimakammeṇa vi aparisesio neyavvo|

"Venerable Sir! Does a kevalin know and see the final karma or final dissipation (nirjarā)?"
"Yes, he knows and sees [it]."
"Venerable Sir! Just as a kevalin knows and sees the final karma or final dissipation, does one who is unliberated (chadmastha) also know and see the final karma or final dissipation?"
"Gautama! That meaning is not competent. He knows and sees by hearing, or by means of pramāṇa. Just as the passage concerning the terminator (antakara), so too concerning final karma should everything be understood in full without remainder."
