sn12.32:6.1 So the Buddha addressed one of the monks,
sn12.32:6.2 “Please, monk, in my name tell Sāriputta that
sn12.32:6.3 the Teacher summons him.”
sn12.32:6.4 “Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Sāriputta and said to him,
sn12.32:6.5 “Reverend Sāriputta, the Teacher summons you.”
sn12.32:6.6 “Yes, reverend,” replied Sāriputta. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him,
sn12.32:6.7 “Sāriputta, is it really true that you have declared enlightenment:
sn12.32:6.8 ‘I understand: “Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place”’?”
sn12.32:6.9 “Sir, I did not state the matter in these words and phrases.”
sn12.32:6.10 “Sāriputta, no matter how a gentleman declares enlightenment, what he has declared should be regarded as such.”
sn12.32:6.11 “Sir, did I not also say that
sn12.32:6.12 I did not state the matter in these words and phrases?”
