1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, forms are impermanent, changing, becoming otherwise. Sounds … Odours … Tastes … Tactile objects … Mental phenomena are impermanent, changing, becoming otherwise. sn.iii.226 One who places faith in these teachings and resolves on them thus is called a faith-follower, one who has entered the fixed course of rightness … ; he is incapable of passing away without having realized the fruit of stream-entry.

2"One for whom these teachings are accepted thus after being pondered to a sufficient degree with wisdom is called a Dhamma-follower, one who has entered the fixed course of rightness … ; he is incapable of passing away without having realized the fruit of stream-entry.

"One who knows and sees these teachings thus is called a stream-enterer, no longer bound to the nether world, fixed in destiny, with enlightenment as his destination."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Rūpā, bhikkhave, aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino; saddā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino; gandhā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino; rasā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino; phoṭṭhabbā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino; dhammā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino. Yo, bhikkhave, ime dhamme evaṁ saddahati adhimuccati, ayaṁ vuccati saddhānusārī, okkanto sammattaniyāmaṁ, sappurisabhūmiṁ okkanto, vītivatto puthujjanabhūmiṁ; abhabbo taṁ kammaṁ kātuṁ, yaṁ kammaṁ katvā nirayaṁ vā tiracchānayoniṁ vā pettivisayaṁ vā upapajjeyya; abhabbo ca tāva kālaṁ kātuṁ yāva na sotāpattiphalaṁ sacchikaroti.

2Yassa kho, bhikkhave, ime dhammā evaṁ paññāya mattaso nijjhanaṁ khamanti, ayaṁ vuccati: ‘dhammānusārī, okkanto sammattaniyāmaṁ, sappurisabhūmiṁ okkanto, vītivatto puthujjanabhūmiṁ; abhabbo taṁ kammaṁ kātuṁ, yaṁ kammaṁ katvā nirayaṁ vā tiracchānayoniṁ vā pettivisayaṁ vā upapajjeyya; abhabbo ca tāva kālaṁ kātuṁ yāva na sotāpattiphalaṁ sacchikaroti’.

Yo, bhikkhave, ime dhamme evaṁ pajānāti evaṁ passati, ayaṁ vuccati: ‘sotāpanno avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyano’"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
