[163] Bhikkhus, again, furthermore: Sāriputta, by completely surmounting the base of neither-perception-nor-non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana), enters and dwells in the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha). And having seen with wisdom, his taints (āsava) are utterly destroyed. He emerges from that attainment (samāpatti) with mindfulness. Having emerged from that attainment with mindfulness, he contemplates those dhammas that are past, ceased, and changed: "So it seems these dhammas, not having been, come into being; having been, they vanish." With regard to those dhammas he dwells unattracted, unrepelled, independent, unbound, released, detached, with a mind made free of boundaries. He understands: "There is an escape beyond this." Through the repeated cultivation of that, it is confirmed for him that there is.
