[285] Bhikkhus, there are in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus, bhikkhus who are arahants, whose taints (āsava) are destroyed, who have lived the holy life to its completion, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, reached their own goal, utterly destroyed the fetters (saṃyojana) of existence, and are liberated through final knowledge — bhikkhus, such bhikkhus too are present in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus.
There are, bhikkhus, in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus, bhikkhus who, with the utter destruction of the five lower fetters, are of spontaneous rebirth (opapātika), due to attain final Nibbāna there, not subject to returning from that world — bhikkhus, such bhikkhus too are present in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus.
There are, bhikkhus, in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus, bhikkhus who, with the utter destruction of three fetters and the attenuation of greed, hatred, and delusion, are once-returners: having come back to this world only once, they will make an end of suffering (dukkha) — bhikkhus, such bhikkhus too are present in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus.
There are, bhikkhus, in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus, bhikkhus who, with the utter destruction of three fetters, are stream-enterers, not subject to falling into states of deprivation, fixed in destiny, with awakening as their destination — bhikkhus, such bhikkhus too are present in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus.
There are, bhikkhus, in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus, bhikkhus who dwell devoted to the practice of developing the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) — bhikkhus, such bhikkhus too are present in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus.
