Arahantasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Sagāthāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 15 · Section 64

[64] "Whatever bhikkhu is an arahant (arahaṃ), one who has done what had to be done, whose taints (āsava) are destroyed, a bearer of the final body — that bhikkhu may say, 'I speak,' and he may also say, 'They speak to me.'" [Translator's note: Of the Siam Raṭṭha footnotes printed with this passage, nos. 1–5 record variant readings belonging to the preceding suttas on the same page; only no. 6 concerns this verse, reporting a Sinhalese-edition (Sī.) variant for antimadehadhārī, "bearer of the final body." The main-text reading is translated.]
