[161] Bhikkhus, furthermore, Sāriputta, by completely surmounting the base of infinite consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), [aware that] "there is nothing at all," entered and dwelt in the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). And whatever dhammas there are in the base of nothingness — the perception of the base of nothingness and one-pointedness of mind (cittekaggatā); contact, feeling (vedanā), perception, volition, consciousness, desire, resolution, energy, mindfulness, equanimity, and attention — those dhammas were determined by him one by one. Known to him, those dhammas arose; known, they were present; known, they went to disappearance. He understood thus: "So indeed these dhammas, not having been, come into being; having been, they vanish." Regarding those dhammas he dwelt unattracted and unrepelled, independent, unbound, released, disjoined, with a mind made free of boundaries. He understood: "There is an escape beyond this." Through repeated practice of that, [the conviction] "there is" was confirmed for him.
