Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo bahussuto hoti sutena upapanno? Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa puggalassa bahukaṁ sutaṁ hoti— suttaṁ geyyaṁ veyyākaraṇaṁ gāthā udānaṁ itivuttakaṁ jātakaṁ abbhutadhammaṁ vedallaṁ.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasminti. Appassutopi ce hoti, sīlesu asamāhito; Ubhayena naṁ garahanti, sīlato ca sutena ca. Appassutopi ce hoti, sīlesu susamāhito; Sīlato naṁ pasaṁsanti, tassa sampajjate sutaṁ. Bahussutopi ce hoti, sīlesu asamāhito; Sīlato naṁ garahanti, nāssa sampajjate sutaṁ. Bahussutopi ce hoti, sīlesu susamāhito; Ubhayena naṁ pasaṁsanti, sīlato ca sutena ca. Bahussutaṁ dhammadharaṁ, sappaññaṁ buddhasāvakaṁ; Nekkhaṁ jambonadasseva, ko taṁ ninditumarahati; Devāpi naṁ pasaṁsanti, brahmunāpi pasaṁsito”ti. Chaṭṭhaṁ.
