supaññattā → suppaññattā (bjt, pts) | nibbānagāminī → nibbāna-gāminī (pts) | nibbānañca → nibbānañ ca (pts)Also, the Buddha has well described the practice that leads to extinguishment for his disciples. And extinguishment converges with the practice, Seyyathāpi nāma gaṅgodakaṁ yamunodakena saṁsandati sameti;
sameti → Jāt. v. 496. (pts note) | seyyathāpi → seyyathā pi (pts)as the waters of the Ganges join together and converge with the waters of the Yamunā. evameva supaññattā tena bhagavatā sāvakānaṁ nibbānagāminī paṭipadā, saṁsandati nibbānañca paṭipadā ca.

He has achieved all he wished for regarding the fundamental goal of the spiritual life. Evaṁ tiṇṇavicikicchaṁ vigatakathaṅkathaṁ pariyositasaṅkappaṁ ajjhāsayaṁ ādibrahmacariyaṁ imināpaṅgena samannāgataṁ satthāraṁ neva atītaṁse samanupassāma, na panetarahi, aññatra tena bhagavatā’ti.

ekantanibbidāya → ekanta nibbidāya (bjt)And what is the spiritual path that leads to extinguishment? Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo.

And they live having realized it with their own insight in this very life due to the ending of defilements.

They come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering.

Ye na sabbenasabbaṁ sāsanaṁ ājānanti, appekacce tiṇṇaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā sotāpannā honti avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā.
