[1534] Here, Mahānāma, some person does not possess unwavering confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Buddha … nor in the Dhamma … nor in the Saṅgha … he is not one of joyous wisdom (hāsapañña), not one of swift wisdom (javanapañña), and he does not possess liberation (vimutti). Yet he has these qualities: the faculty of faith (saddhindriya), the faculty of energy (vīriyindriya), the faculty of mindfulness (satindriya), the faculty of concentration (samādhindriya), and the faculty of wisdom (paññindriya). And the teachings proclaimed by the Tathāgata are accepted by him after being pondered to a sufficient degree with wisdom. This person too, Mahānāma, does not go to hell (niraya), does not go to the animal realm (tiracchānayoni), does not go to the domain of ghosts (pittivisaya), does not go to the plane of misery, the bad destination, the lower world (apāya-duggati-vinipāta).
