Visuddhimagga XXII-27

Ñ: [THE THIRD FRUITION — SIXTH NOBLE PERSON]



Catutthamaggañāṇakathā



815. Imassapi ñāṇassa anantaraṃ vuttanayeneva phalacittāni veditabbāni. Ettāvatā cesa anāgāmī nāma chaṭṭho ariyapuggalo hoti opapātiko tatthaparinibbāyī anāvattidhammo paṭisandhivasena imaṃ lokaṃ puna anāgantā. Tato paraṃ paccavekkhaṇaṃ vuttanayameva.

（阿那含果）在此智之后，当知如前所说（有二或三剎那）的果心。至此名为阿那含（不还）的第六圣者，即于彼化生之处而般涅盘，不复还来──依结生而不再来此世间之故。此后的观察亦如前述。

Ñ(XXII,27): The fruition consciousnesses should be understood to follow immediately upon this knowledge in the same way as before. And at this point this non-returner is called the sixth noble person. [After death] he reappears apparitionally [elsewhere] and attains complete extinction there without ever returning, without ever coming to this world again through rebirth-linking. Next there comes reviewing in the way already described.
