[1446] One who did not fully understand the eye faculty (cakkhundriya) — will he not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty (anaññātaññassāmītindriya)?
Those ordinary persons (puthujjanā) who will obtain the path (magga) did not fully understand the eye faculty, but it is not that they will not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty. Eight persons did not fully understand the eye faculty and will not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty.
Or rather, one who will not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty — did he not fully understand the eye faculty?
The Arahant (arahā) will not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty, but it is not that he did not fully understand the eye faculty. Eight persons will not develop the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty and did not fully understand the eye faculty.
