Viyahapannatti 5.4.232

5.4.232

‘Venerable Sir! Does a kevalin know and see one who makes an end [to rebirth], or one in their final body?’
‘Yes, [Gautama,] he knows and sees [them].’
‘Venerable Sir! Just as a kevalin knows and sees one who makes an end, or one in their final body, does a non-omniscient [chadmastha] also likewise know and see one who makes an end, or one in their final body?’
‘Gautama! That meaning is not correct. He knows and sees [them] having heard [it], or by means of valid cognition [pramāṇa].’
‘What is that “having heard [it]”?’
‘Having heard [it] indeed from a kevalin, or from a kevalin’s lay follower, or from a kevalin’s female lay follower, or from a kevalin’s lay votary [upāsaka], or from a kevalin’s female lay votary [upāsikā], or from an adherent of their side, or from an adherent’s lay follower, or from an adherent’s female lay follower, or from an adherent’s lay votary, or from an adherent’s female lay votary. That is what “having heard [it]” means.’
