VaggaSattakkhattuparamakathā

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Kathāvatthu · Vol. 37 · Section 1495

[1495] S.: Is there no fixed course (niyama) by which fixed course the person who will be reborn seven times at most (sattakkhattuparama) is fixed (niyata) in the state of having at most seven rebirths? P.: Yes. S.: If there is no fixed course by which fixed course the person who will be reborn seven times at most is fixed in the state of having at most seven rebirths, then indeed, good sir, it should not be said that "the person who will be reborn seven times at most is fixed in the state of having at most seven rebirths."
