Samaṇabrāhmaṇasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Mahāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 19 · Section 911

[911] But, bhikkhus, whatever ascetics or brahmins understand as it really is (yathābhūta) the origin, the passing away, the gratification, the danger, and the escape in regard to these six faculties (indriya) — those ascetics or brahmins, bhikkhus, are reckoned as ascetics among ascetics and as brahmins among brahmins; and those venerable ones, having realized it for themselves with direct knowledge, in this very life enter upon and dwell in the goal of asceticism and the goal of brahminhood.
