Come to a Conclusion

“Ye keci, bhikkhave, mayi niṭṭhaṁ gatā sabbe te diṭṭhisampannā.

“Mendicants, all those who have come to a conclusion about me are accomplished in view.

Tesaṁ diṭṭhisampannānaṁ pañcannaṁ idha niṭṭhā, pañcannaṁ idha vihāya niṭṭhā.

Of those who are accomplished in view, five conclude their path in this realm, and five conclude their path after leaving this realm behind.

These five conclude their path after leaving this realm behind.

Ye keci, bhikkhave, mayi niṭṭhaṁ gatā, sabbe te diṭṭhisampannā.
