Abhidhammapiṭaka · Kathāvatthu · Vol. 37 · Section 1496

[1496] S. Are there no such establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) … factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), by which factors of awakening the person of seven rebirths at most (sattakkhattuparama) is fixed (niyata) in the state of having seven rebirths at most? P. Yes. S. If there are no such factors of awakening by which factors of awakening the person of seven rebirths at most is fixed in the state of having seven rebirths at most, then indeed it should not be said: "The person of seven rebirths at most is fixed in the state of having seven rebirths at most."
