A. 44. Gautama ! It is possible for some, but not so for some others. Repeat in this case all that has been said about knowledge without, except that in the present case, use the expression on hearing'. The rest verbatim as before, till one who has exhausted karma enshrouding the knowledge of the psychology of others, one who has exhausted karma obstructing supreme knowledge, acquires enlightenment regarding the Law, derives pure enlightenment, till has supreme knowledge.
Such a person practising incessant fasts missing eight meals at a time, on account of his inherent humility, and because of his submission to diverse efforts, ihā-apoha-mārgana-gavesana, comes to acquire extra-sensory knowledge, by dint of which he can know and see from the smallest fraction of a finger in the minimum, till upto innumerable portions of space each as vast as the universe (loka) in the maximum.
