[644] "Headman (gāmaṇi), there are these three ascetics (tapassī) living the rough life (lūkhajīvī) found existing in the world. Which three? Here, headman, a certain ascetic living the rough life has gone forth out of faith (saddhā) from the home life into homelessness, thinking: 'Perhaps I might attain a wholesome state; perhaps I might realize a superhuman state (uttarimanussadhamma), a distinction of knowledge and vision (ñāṇadassana) worthy of the noble ones.' He torments and mortifies himself, yet he does not attain a wholesome state, nor does he realize a superhuman state, a distinction of knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones. But here, headman, a certain ascetic living the rough life has gone forth out of faith from the home life into homelessness, thinking: 'Perhaps I might attain a wholesome state; perhaps I might realize a superhuman state, a distinction of knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones.' He torments and mortifies himself; he does indeed attain a wholesome state, yet he does not realize a superhuman state, a distinction of knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones.
