“ये ते, भिक्खवे, अनुकम्पेय्याथ, ये च सोतब्बं मञ्ञेय्युं—मित्ता वा अमच्चा वा ञाती वा सालोहिता वा—ते, भिक्खवे, चतूसु सोतापत्तियङ्गेसु समादपेतब्बा, निवेसेतब्बा, पतिट्ठापेतब्बा। कतमेसु चतूसु? बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादे समादपेतब्बा, निवेसेतब्बा, पतिट्ठापेतब्बा—इतिपि सो भगवा …पे… सत्था देवमनुस्सानं बुद्धो भगवाति।
“Ye te, bhikkhave, anukampeyyātha, ye ca sotabbaṁ maññeyyuṁ—mittā vā amaccā vā ñātī vā sālohitā vā—te, bhikkhave, catūsu sotāpattiyaṅgesu samādapetabbā, nivesetabbā, patiṭṭhāpetabbā. Katamesu catūsu? Buddhe aveccappasāde samādapetabbā, nivesetabbā, patiṭṭhāpetabbā—itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.
“Bhikkhus, those who you have sympathy for, and those worth listening to—friends and colleagues, relatives and family—should be encouraged, supported, and established in the four factors of stream-entry. What four? Experiential confidence in the Buddha …
सिया, भिक्खवे, चतुन्नं महाभूतानं अञ्ञथत्तं—पथवीधातुया, आपोधातुया, तेजोधातुया, वायोधातुया—न त्वेव बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतस्स अरियसावकस्स सिया अञ्ञथत्तं। तत्रिदं अञ्ञथत्तं—सो वत बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतो अरियसावको निरयं वा तिरच्छानयोनिं वा पेत्तिविसयं वा उपपज्जिस्सती”ति—नेतं ठानं विज्जति।
Siyā, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ mahābhūtānaṁ aññathattaṁ—pathavīdhātuyā, āpodhātuyā, tejodhātuyā, vāyodhātuyā—na tveva buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgatassa ariyasāvakassa siyā aññathattaṁ.

There might be change in the four primary elements—earth, water, fire, and air—but a noble disciple with experiential confidence in the Buddha would never change. In this context, ‘change’ means that such a noble disciple will be reborn in hell, the animal realm, or the ghost realm: this is quite impossible.
