He thought he was a \*khīṇāsava\*, and that he might rid himself of bodily pains by death. However, the stab with the knife caused him such pain that at the moment of dying he realized his \*puthujjana\* state, and, putting forth great effort, attained arahantship. - [Previous: v2.c35.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.24) - [Next: v2.c35.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.26) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.25) · Pramāṇa
