Re. Samyakatvanyāma: The putthujjanas, who are aniyata (not destined to attain Nibbāna) or who are doers of evil acts, may ultimately become niyata and realise the truth. This they state on the basis of some statements of Buddha who foretold to certain puthujjanas that they would realise the truth ultimately, e.g., in the case of Aṅgulimāla (v. 4; xix. 7).
