[201] Sakavādin: Does the Arahant (arahā) fall away from Arahantship (arahatta)? Paravādin: Yes. Sakavādin: Does the Once-Returner (sakadāgāmī) fall away from the fruition of Once-Returning (sakadāgāmiphala)? Paravādin: It should not be said thus. Sakavādin: For whom have the more numerous defilements (kilesa) been abandoned — for the Arahant or for the Once-Returner? Paravādin: For the Arahant. Sakavādin: If for the Arahant the more numerous defilements have been abandoned, and the Arahant falls away from Arahantship, then indeed, sir, it must be said: "The Once-Returner falls away from the fruition of Once-Returning."
