holy stream is called the stream-entry (Sotpatti phala), the

stream-winner, or the stream-enterer (Sotpanna). This

person has attained the Path (Magga) (i) and the fruition

(Phala) (ii) of Sotpanna. Sakadgm means the noble

person who enters the second holy stream is called the once-

Path (Magga) (iii) and the fruition (Phala) (iv) of

Sakadgm. Angm means the noble person who enters

phala). This person has attained the Path (Magga) (v) and the

stream is called the one who has been deserved to be offered

defilements terrified (4), who has ended the samsara of birth

and death (5). This person has attained the Path (Magga) (vii)

pairs. Calculating from the Path (Magga) and the fruition

holy persons (Cattri purisayugni aha purisapuggal).
