[1][upal][olds] Thus have I heard:
"Monks, these nine persons are found living in the world.
What nine?
The Arahant,
he who has attained to arahantship,
the Non-returner,
he who has attained to the realization of the fruit of the Non-returner,
the Once-returner,
he who has attained to the realization of the fruit of the Once-returner,
the Streammwinner,
he who has attained to the realization of the fruit of the Streamwinner
and the (average) many-man.[1]
Monka, these nine persons are found living in the world.'
