“Visālamāḷe āsīno, addasaṃ lokanāyakaṃ;
khīṇāsavaṃ balappattaṃ, bhikkhusaṅghapurakkhataṃ.
“Satasahassā tevijjā, chaḷabhiññā mahiddhikā;

“Ñāṇe upanidhā yassa, na vijjati sadevake;

Gāthaṃ abhāsi.

Tattha ito bahiddhāti imasmā buddhasāsanā bāhirake samaye, tenāha “puthu-aññavādinan”ti, nānātitthiyānanti attho. Maggo na nibbānagamo yathā ayanti yathā ayaṃ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo ekaṃsena nibbānaṃ gacchatīti nibbānagamo, nibbānagāmī, evaṃ nibbānagamo maggo titthiyasamaye natthi asammāsambuddhappaveditattā aññatitthiyavādassa. Tenāha bhagavā–

“Idheva bhikkhave, samaṇo, idha dutiyo samaṇo, idha tatiyo samaṇo, idha catuttho samaṇo, suññā parappavādā samaṇebhi aññehī”ti (dī. ni. 2.214; ma. ni. 1.139; a. ni. 4.241).
