[360] Bhikkhus, all those who have reached certainty about me are accomplished in view (diṭṭhisampannā). Of these, for five the consummation (niṭṭhā) is here; for five the consummation is after leaving here. For which five is the consummation here? For the one who has seven rebirths at most (sattakkhattuparama), the clan-to-clan (kolaṅkola), the single-seeded (ekabījī), the once-returner (sakadāgāmī), and one who is an arahant in this very life — for these five the consummation is here. For which five is the consummation after leaving here? For the one who attains final Nibbāna within the first half of the life-span (antarāparinibbāyī), the one who attains final Nibbāna after the first half of the life-span (upahaccaparinibbāyī), the one who attains final Nibbāna without exertion (asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), the one who attains final Nibbāna with exertion (sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), and the one bound upstream, heading to the Akaniṭṭha realm (uddhaṃsota akaniṭṭhagāmī) — for these five the consummation is after leaving here. Bhikkhus, all those who have reached certainty about me are accomplished in view. For these five the consummation is here; for these five the consummation is after leaving here.
