Kuddhaka Nikaya
Index of the Udāna
The Udana is an anthology of suttas found in the four main Nikayas with the common theme of ending with an inspired utterance. There is the appearance of having attempted to create a well-rounded picture of the Dhamma. There also seems to be some subtle editing of the original suttas. On this site the Kuddaka Nikaya is not considered as on a level for reliability with the: Dīgha Nikāya, Majjhima Nikāya, Aṅguttara Nikāya, and Saṁyutta Nikāya. Others hold the opposite view.

ATI: Brahmans, Bhk. Thanissaro, trans.
Is it possible that the yokes to rebirth can be broken in a person,
and yet that person be unaware of that? ...
that that person not yet be an Arahant? ...
In other words:
If having broken the yokes to rebirth equals Arahantship,
Can a person be unaware of being an Arahant?
Question raised by Bhk. Thanissaro's note to UD 1.5.
This strange deviation between the various versions of the Pāḷi looks very much like the work of editors with bias either way the question asked here is answered.
