Early Monastic Buddhism v2.c36.56

v2.c36.56

The Sam. now assail the Th. with the counter-question whether the latter would admit that the *puggala* is *not* known in the same way as *that which is real and ultimate*. The Th. answered in the affirmative as according to them *puggala* is not even an object like *rūpa*; it is a mere *paññatti* (conventional term), a *sammutisacca* (so-called truth).
