āIdhÄhaį¹, Ävuso, sabbaso nevasaƱƱÄnÄsaƱƱÄyatanaį¹ samatikkamma saƱƱÄvedayitanirodhaį¹ upasampajja viharÄmi. āReverend, going totally beyond the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception, I entered and remained in the cessation of perception and feeling. The ācessation of perception and feelingā (saƱƱÄvedayitanirodha) is a culminating meditation state of supreme subtlety that often leads directly to awakening (but see AN 5.166). The state itself, like all meditation states, is temporary, but afterwards the defilements can be eliminated forever. This liberating insight is the consequence of the balanced development of all eight factors of the path.
Tassa mayhaį¹, Ävuso, na evaį¹ hoti: But it didnāt occur to me:
āahaį¹ saƱƱÄvedayitanirodhaį¹ samÄpajjÄmÄ«āti vÄ āahaį¹ saƱƱÄvedayitanirodhaį¹ samÄpannoāti vÄ āahaį¹ saƱƱÄvedayitanirodhÄ vuį¹į¹hitoāti vÄāti. āI am entering the cessation of perception and feelingā or āI have entered the cessation of perception and feelingā or āI am emerging from the cessation of perception and feelingā.ā

TasmÄ Äyasmato sÄriputtassa na evaį¹ hoti: Thatās why it didnāt occur to you:
