The Discourse on Phagguna's Question
83.
Then the venerable Phagguna... etc.
Seated to one side, the venerable Phagguna said this to the Blessed One:
"Is there indeed, venerable sir, that eye, by which eye one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them... etc. Is there indeed, venerable sir, that tongue, by which tongue one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them... etc. Is there indeed, venerable sir, that mind, by which mind one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them?"
"There is not indeed, Phagguna, that eye, by which eye one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them... etc. There is not indeed, Phagguna, that tongue, by which tongue one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them... etc. There is not indeed, Phagguna, that mind, by which mind one describing the Buddhas of the past who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut off obsession, who have cut off the path, who have brought to an end the round of rebirths, who have transcended all suffering, might describe them."
