[118] "It is possible (ṭhānaṃ vijjati), Cunda, that wanderers of other sects (aññatitthiyā paribbājakā) might say thus: 'Concerning the past stretch of time, the ascetic Gotama declares a boundless knowledge (ñāṇa) and vision (atīrakaṃ ñāṇadassanaṃ), but concerning the future stretch of time he does not declare a boundless knowledge and vision. Why is that? How is that?' Those wanderers of other sects suppose that what is not knowledge and vision, concerned with one thing, is to be declared by means of a knowledge and vision concerned with another—just like foolish, incompetent people. "Concerning the past stretch of time, Cunda, the Tathāgata possesses the knowledge that follows upon memory (satānusāri-ñāṇa): he recollects as far back as he wishes. And concerning the future stretch of time, there arises in the Tathāgata the knowledge born of awakening (bodhijaṃ ñāṇaṃ): 'This is the last birth; now there is no renewed existence.'"
