[1542] Here, Mahānāma, a certain person is wholly devoted to and has full confidence in the Buddha: "Thus indeed is that Blessed One … the teacher of devas and humans, the Buddha, the Blessed One." Likewise in the Dhamma … in the Saṅgha. He is not one of joyous wisdom (hāsapañña), not one of swift wisdom (javanapañña), and is not endowed with liberation (vimutti). With the utter destruction of three fetters (saṃyojana), and with the attenuation of greed, hatred, and delusion, he is a once-returner (sakadāgāmī): having come back to this world only once, he makes an end of suffering (dukkha). This person too, Mahānāma, is freed from hell, freed from the animal realm, freed from the realm of ghosts, freed from the plane of misery, the bad destination, the lower world.
