Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā bhikkhū sāketā sāvatthiṁ addhānamaggappaṭipannā honti. Antarāmagge corā nikkhamitvā ekacce bhikkhū acchindiṁsu, ekacce bhikkhū haniṁsu. Sāvatthiyā rājabhaṭā nikkhamitvā ekacce core aggahesuṁ, ekacce corā palāyiṁsu. Ye te palāyiṁsu te bhikkhūsu pabbajiṁsu, ye te gahitā te vadhāya oniyyanti. Addasaṁsu kho te palāyitvā pabbajitā te core vadhāya oniyyamāne, disvāna evamāhaṁsu— “sādhu kho mayaṁ palāyimhā, sacā ca mayaṁ gayheyyāma, mayampi evameva haññeyyāmā”ti. Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu— “kiṁ pana tumhe, āvuso, akatthā”ti? Atha kho te pabbajitā bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. Bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. “Arahanto ete, bhikkhave, bhikkhū. Arahantaghātako, bhikkhave, anupasampanno na upasampādetabbo, upasampanno nāsetabbo”ti.
