VaggaAccantaniyāmakathā

Abhidhammapiṭaka · Kathāvatthu · Vol. 37 · Section 1793

[1793] [S.] For a person who is utterly fixed [in destiny] (accantaniyata), doubt (vicikicchā) would not arise? [P.] Yes. [S.] Has it been abandoned? [P.] It should not be said thus. … [S.] Has it been abandoned? [P.] Yes. [S.] By the path of stream-entry (sotāpattimagga)? [P.] It should not be said thus. … [S.] By the path of once-returning (sakadāgāmimagga)? … By the path of non-returning (anāgāmimagga)? … By the path of Arahantship (arahattamagga)? [P.] It should not be said thus. … [S.] By which path (magga)? [P.] By an unwholesome (akusala) path. [S.] Is the unwholesome path one that leads out (niyyānika), leading to destruction (khayagāmī), leading to awakening (bodhagāmī), leading to dismantling (apacayagāmī), taintless (anāsava), … not subject to defilement (asaṅkilesika)? [P.] It should not be said thus. … [S.] Is not the unwholesome path one that does not lead out, … subject to defilement? [P.] Yes. [S.] If the unwholesome path is one that does not lead out, … subject to defilement, then indeed you should not say: "For a person who is utterly fixed, doubt has been abandoned by an unwholesome path."
