[1543] Here, Mahānāma, a certain person is wholly settled in and full of confidence in the Buddha: "Thus indeed is that Blessed One … 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), nor of swift wisdom (javanapañña), and he is not endowed with liberation (vimutti). With the utter destruction of three fetters (saṃyojana) he is a stream-enterer (sotāpanna), no longer subject to downfall, fixed in destiny, with full awakening as his destination. This person too, Mahānāma, is released from hell (niraya), released from the animal womb (tiracchānayoni), released from the domain of ghosts (pittivisaya), released from the plane of misery, the bad destination, the lower world (apāya, duggati, vinipāta).
