Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN48: Connected Discourses on the Faculties

SN48:13 In Brief (2)

1"Bhikkhus, there are these five faculties. What five? The faculty of faith … the faculty of wisdom. These are the five faculties.

"One who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is an arahant. If they are weaker than that, one is a nonreturner … a once-returner … a stream-enterer … a Dhamma-follower … a faith-follower.

"Thus, bhikkhus, due to a difference in the faculties there is a difference in the fruits; due to a difference in the fruits [n.199] Ee has passed over the correct reading, phalavemattatā, in favour of the faulty balavemattatā. Spk glosses this as an instrumental, phalananattena. there is a difference among persons." sn.v.201

1"Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. Katamāni pañca? Saddhindriyaṁ … pe … paññindriyaṁ – imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcindriyāni.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ samattā paripūrattā arahaṁ hoti, tato mudutarehi anāgāmī hoti, tato mudutarehi sakadāgāmī hoti, tato mudutarehi sotāpanno hoti, tato mudutarehi dhammānusārī hoti, tato mudutarehi saddhānusārī hoti.

Iti kho, bhikkhave, indriyavemattatā phalavemattatā hoti, phalavemattatā puggalavemattatā"ti.


Tatiyaṁ.
