[160] Again, bhikkhus, furthermore, by completely surmounting the base of infinite space (ākāsānañcāyatana), [aware that] "consciousness is infinite," Sāriputta enters and dwells in the base of infinite consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana). And the dhammas in the base of infinite consciousness — the perception (saññā) of the base of infinite consciousness, unification of mind (cittekaggatā), contact (phassa), feeling (vedanā), perception, intention (cetanā), consciousness (viññāṇa), zeal (chanda), resolution (adhimokkha), energy (vīriya), mindfulness (sati), equanimity (upekkhā), and attention (manasikāra) — these dhammas are determined by him one by one as they occur (anupadavavatthitā). Known to him these dhammas arise, known they persist, known they go to disappearance. He understands thus: "So indeed these dhammas, not having been, come into being; having been, they vanish." Regarding those dhammas he dwells unattracted, unrepelled, independent, unfettered, released, dissociated, with a mind made free of boundaries. He understands: "There is an escape beyond this." Through much practice of that, it is confirmed for him that there is.
