Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN48: Connected Discourses on the Faculties

SN48:26 Stream-Enterer

1"Bhikkhus, there are these six faculties. What six? The eye faculty … the mind faculty.

1"Chayimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. Katamāni cha? Cakkhundriyaṁ … pe … manindriyaṁ.

"When, bhikkhus, a noble disciple understands as they really are the gratification, the danger, and the escape in the case of these six faculties, then he is called a noble disciple who is a stream-enterer, no longer bound to the nether world, fixed in destiny, with enlightenment as his destination."

Yato kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako imesaṁ channaṁ indriyānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako sotāpanno avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
