[247] S. Does an Arahant (arahā) fall away from Arahantship (arahatta)?
P. Yes.
S. Was it not said by the Blessed One:
"For the modes of practice (paṭipadā) proclaimed by the Ascetic are high and low;
they do not go twice to the far shore, nor is this experienced but once"?¹
Is there indeed such a discourse (suttanta)?
P. Yes.
S. Well then, it should not be said that an Arahant falls away from Arahantship.
