Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 7.39 — Textual Analysis (2nd)

1“Mendicants, having seven qualities, Sāriputta realized the four kinds of textual analysis and lives having achieved them with his own insight. What seven?

2It’s when Sāriputta truly understood: ‘This is mental sluggishness’.

3He truly understood internally constricted mind as ‘internally constricted mind’.

4He truly understood externally scattered mind as ‘externally scattered mind’.

5He knew feelings, perceptions, and thoughts as they arose, as they remained, and as they went away.

6The patterns of qualities—suitable or unsuitable, inferior or superior, or those with a portion of dark or bright—were properly grasped, focused on, borne in mind, and penetrated with wisdom.

7Having these seven qualities, Sāriputta realized the four kinds of textual analysis and lives having achieved them with his own insight.”
