[1316] Bhikkhus, when mindfulness of breathing (ānāpānasati) has been developed in this way and cultivated in this way, seven fruits and seven benefits may be expected. What are the seven fruits and seven benefits? One attains final knowledge (aññā) early, in this very life. If one does not attain final knowledge early in this very life, then one attains final knowledge at the time of death. If one does not attain final knowledge early in this very life, and does not attain final knowledge at the time of death, then, with the utter destruction of the five lower fetters, one becomes an attainer of final Nibbāna in the interval (antarāparinibbāyī), an attainer of final Nibbāna upon landing (upahaccaparinibbāyī), an attainer of final Nibbāna without exertion (asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), an attainer of final Nibbāna with exertion (sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), or one bound upstream, heading to the Akaniṭṭha realm (uddhaṃsoto akaniṭṭhagāmī). Bhikkhus, when mindfulness of breathing has been developed in this way and cultivated in this way, these seven fruits and seven benefits may be expected.
End of the Fifth Sutta.
