[1532] "Here, Mahānāma, some person is endowed with unwavering confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Buddha: 'Thus indeed is that Blessed One … teacher of devas and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One.' … in the Dhamma … in the Saṅgha … He is not one of joyous wisdom, nor one of swift wisdom, and he is not endowed with liberation (vimutti). With the utter destruction of three fetters and with the attenuation of lust, hatred, and delusion, he is a once-returner (sakadāgāmī): having come back to this world only once more, he makes an end of suffering (dukkha). This person too, Mahānāma, is freed from hell, freed from the animal womb, freed from the realm of ghosts, freed from the plane of misery, the bad destination, the lower world."
