- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- The Buddha said:
- To be free from the passions and to be calm, this is the most excellent way.
- Those who leave their parents, go out of the home, understand the mind, reach the source, and comprehend the immaterial, are called shramanas.
- Those who observe the precepts of morality, who are pure and spotless in their behaviour, and who exert themselves for the attainment of the fruits of saintship are called arhats.
- Next is the anagamin. At the end of his life, the spirit of the anagamin ascends to the heaven and obtains arhatship.
- Next is the skridagamin. The skridagamin ascends to the heaven (after his death), comes back to the earth once more, and then attains arhatship.
- Next is the srotapanna. The srotapanna dies seven times and is born seven times, when he finally attains arhatship.
- By the severance of passions is meant that like the limbs severed they are never again made use of.
