1"Bhikkhus, there are these two that are not terrified by a bursting thunderbolt. What two? A bhikkhu whose taints are destroyed and a thoroughbred elephant. These are the two that are not terrified by a bursting thunderbolt."[n.293] Mp: "The arahant is not terrified because he has abandoned personal-existence view (sakkāyadiṭṭhiyā pahīnattā); the thoroughbred elephant, because his personal-existence view is very strong (sakkāyadiṭṭhiyā balavattā)."
