[1515] "But you, Mahānāma — endowed with how many dhammas do you know a person to be a stream-enterer (sotāpanna), no longer subject to the states of deprivation (avinipātadhamma), fixed in destiny, with awakening as his final goal?"
"Godhā, I know a person endowed with four dhammas to be a stream-enterer, no longer subject to the states of deprivation, fixed in destiny, with awakening as his final goal. With which four? Here, Godhā, a noble disciple is endowed with unwavering confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Buddha: 'Thus indeed is that Blessed One … teacher of devas and humans, the Awakened One, the Blessed One.' … in the Dhamma … in the Saṅgha … He is endowed with the virtues dear to the noble ones (ariyakantehi sīlehi) — unbroken … conducive to concentration (samādhi). Endowed with these four dhammas, Godhā, do I know a person to be a stream-enterer, no longer subject to the states of deprivation, fixed in destiny, with awakening as his final goal."
