[570] Then the Venerable Anuruddha approached the Venerable Sāriputta; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Venerable Sāriputta, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, he sat down at one side. Sitting at one side, the Venerable Anuruddha said this to the Venerable Sāriputta: "Here, friend Sāriputta, with the divine eye (dibbacakkhu), purified and surpassing the human, I survey the thousandfold world. My energy is aroused and unflagging; my mindfulness is established and unconfused; my body is tranquil and untroubled; my mind (citta) is concentrated (samādhi) and one-pointed. And yet my mind is not liberated from the taints (āsava) through non-clinging."
"Friend Anuruddha, when it occurs to you thus: 'With the divine eye, purified and surpassing the human, I survey the thousandfold world' — this is a matter of conceit (māna) in you. And when it occurs to you thus: 'My energy is aroused and unflagging; my mindfulness is established and unconfused; my body is tranquil and untroubled; my mind is concentrated and one-pointed' — this is a matter of restlessness (uddhacca) in you. And when it occurs to you thus: 'And yet my mind is not liberated from the taints through non-clinging' — this is a matter of remorse (kukkucca) in you. It would be good indeed if the Venerable Anuruddha, abandoning these three things and not attending to these three things, would direct his mind to the deathless element (amatā dhātu)."
Then at a later time the Venerable Anuruddha, abandoning these three things and not attending to these three things, directed his mind to the deathless element. Then the Venerable Anuruddha, dwelling alone, withdrawn, heedful, ardent, and resolute, before long realized for himself with direct knowledge, in this very life, that unsurpassed consummation of the holy life for the sake of which clansmen rightly go forth from the household life into homelessness, and having entered upon it, he dwelt therein. He understood: "Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more of this state of being." And the Venerable Anuruddha became one of the arahants.
