[1002] S. — "Is the person (puggala) practising for the realization of arahantship (arahatta-sacchikiriyā) endowed with the fruition of once-returning (sakadāgāmi-phala)?" P. — "Yes." S. — "Is it not the case that the person practising for the realization of arahantship has passed beyond the fruition of once-returning?" P. — "Yes." S. — "If the person practising for the realization of arahantship has passed beyond the fruition of once-returning, then surely it should not be said: 'The person practising for the realization of arahantship is endowed with the fruition of once-returning.'"
