[1829] P.: Is the noble path eightfold (ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo)? S.: Yes. P.: But was it not said by the Blessed One: "And his bodily action (kāyakamma), verbal action (vacīkamma), and livelihood (ājīva) have already been well purified beforehand; thus for him this noble eightfold path (magga) comes to fulfillment through development (bhāvanā)" — does such a discourse (suttanta) indeed exist? S.: Yes. P.: Well then, the path is fivefold.
