2.10. Division of Human Types by Ten

By which five is consummation reached here?

The “stream-attainer” destined not to undergo more than seven births, the “stream-attainer” transmigrating through a few families (less than seven), the “single-seed” “stream-attainer”, the “once-returner”, and one attaining Arahantship in this very existence: of these five, consummation is reached here.

By which five is consummation reached after leaving this world?

“One who dies and attains Nirvāṇa before half the age he should have lived in a Brahmanic world expires”, the “term-curtailing passer-away”, the “automatic passer-away”, “one attaining Nirvāṇa through strenuous exertion”, “one proceeding upstream to the Akaṇiṭṭha region”. By these five, consummation is reached after leaving this world.

Thus far has been made the determination of human types.

Here ends the specification of grouping by Ten.
