[209] S. Does the Arahant (arahā) fall away (parihāyati) from Arahantship (arahatta)?
P. Yes.
S. Does the Non-Returner (anāgāmī) fall away from the fruition of Non-Returning (anāgāmiphala)?
P. It should not be said thus.
S. Whose development of the path (magga-bhāvanā) … development of the factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga-bhāvanā) is superior — the Arahant's or the Non-Returner's?
P. The Arahant's.
S. If the Arahant's development of the factors of awakening is superior, and the Arahant falls away from Arahantship, then indeed, good sir, it must be said: "The Non-Returner falls away from the fruition of Non-Returning."
