[203] "Does the Non-Returner (anāgāmī) fall away from the fruition of Non-Returning (anāgāmi-phala)?"
"Yes."
"Does the Stream-Enterer (sotāpanna) fall away from the fruition of Stream-Entry (sotāpatti-phala)?"
"It should not be said thus."
"By whom have more defilements (kilesā) been abandoned — by the Non-Returner or by the Stream-Enterer?"
"By the Non-Returner."
"If by the Non-Returner more defilements have been abandoned, and the Non-Returner falls away from the fruition of Non-Returning, then indeed, good sir, it should be said: 'The Stream-Enterer falls away from the fruition of Stream-Entry.'"
