[273] "But friend Nārada, apart from faith, apart from personal preference (ruci), apart from oral tradition, apart from reasoned reflection, apart from acceptance of a view after consideration, does the Venerable Nārada have knowledge (ñāṇa) that is personal to himself: 'With the cessation of birth there is the cessation of aging and death' … 'With the cessation of ignorance there is the cessation of volitional formations'?"
"Friend Paviṭṭha, apart from faith, apart from personal preference, apart from oral tradition, apart from reasoned reflection, apart from acceptance of a view after consideration, I know this, I see this: 'With the cessation of ignorance there is the cessation of volitional formations.'"
