[591] At the moment of the path of arahantship (arahattamagga), right view in the sense of seeing … right concentration (sammāsamādhi) in the sense of non-distraction becomes dispassionate toward greed for form, greed for the formless, conceit, restlessness, ignorance (avijjā), the latent tendency to conceit, the latent tendency to lust for existence, and the latent tendency to ignorance; it becomes dispassionate toward the defilements that follow along with these and toward the aggregates (khandha); and it becomes dispassionate toward all external signs. It is dispassion (virāga), has dispassion as its object, has dispassion as its resort; it has entered fully upon dispassion, stands in dispassion, is established in dispassion. "Dispassion": there are two kinds of dispassion — Nibbāna is dispassion, and all the dhammas arisen with Nibbāna as their object are dispassion — thus it is dispassion. The seven co-arisen factors go to dispassion; thus dispassion is the path (magga). By this path the Buddhas and their disciples go to Nibbāna, the direction not gone to before; thus it is the eightfold path. Of however many paths there are of the many ascetics and brahmins belonging to other sects, this noble eightfold path alone is the foremost, the best, the liberation, the highest, and the most excellent; thus, of paths, the eightfold is the best.
