[1045] S. Earth (paṭhavī) exists; for one entering upon [the attainment of] earth as earth, is there perversion [of knowledge]?
P. Yes.
S. Nibbāna exists; for one entering upon [the attainment of] Nibbāna as Nibbāna, is there perversion [of knowledge]?
P. It should not be said thus. …
S. Then indeed it should not be said that "for one who has entered upon the earth-kasiṇa (paṭhavīkasiṇa) attainment (samāpatti) there is perverted knowledge (ñāṇa)."
The Discourse on Perversion (Viparītakathā) is concluded.
