“चत्तारोमे, भिक्खवे, पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिं। कतमे चत्तारो? समणमचलो, समणपुण्डरीको, समणपदुमो, समणेसु समणसुखुमालो।
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame cattāro? Samaṇamacalo, samaṇapuṇḍarīko, samaṇapadumo, samaṇesu samaṇasukhumālo.
“Bhikkhus, these four people are found in the world. What four? The confirmed ascetic, the white lotus ascetic, the pink lotus ascetic, and the exquisite ascetic of ascetics.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणमचलो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु तिण्णं संयोजनानं परिक्खया सोतापन्नो होति अविनिपातधम्मो नियतो सम्बोधिपरायणो। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणमचलो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇamacalo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu tiṇṇaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇamacalo hoti.
And how is a person a confirmed ascetic? It’s when a bhikkhu—with the ending of three fetters—is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening. That’s how a person is a confirmed ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपुण्डरीको होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु तिण्णं संयोजनानं परिक्खया, रागदोसमोहानं तनुत्ता सकदागामी होति, सकिदेव इमं लोकं आगन्त्वा दुक्खस्सन्तं करोति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपुण्डरीको होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapuṇḍarīko hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu tiṇṇaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā, rāgadosamohānaṁ tanuttā sakadāgāmī hoti, sakideva imaṁ lokaṁ āgantvā dukkhassantaṁ karoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapuṇḍarīko hoti.
And how is a person a white lotus ascetic? It’s when a bhikkhu—with the ending of three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hate, and delusion—is a once-returner. They come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering. That’s how a person is a white lotus ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपदुमो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पञ्चन्नं ओरम्भागियानं संयोजनानं परिक्खया ओपपातिको होति तत्थ परिनिब्बायी अनावत्तिधम्मो तस्मा लोका। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपदुमो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapadumo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcannaṁ orambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā opapātiko hoti tattha parinibbāyī anāvattidhammo tasmā lokā. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapadumo hoti.
And how is a person a pink lotus ascetic? It’s when a bhikkhu—with the ending of the five lower fetters—is reborn spontaneously. They’re extinguished there, and are not liable to return from that world. That’s how a person is a pink lotus ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणेसु समणसुखुमालो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणेसु समणसुखुमालो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇesu samaṇasukhumālo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇesu samaṇasukhumālo hoti.
And how is a person an exquisite ascetic of ascetics? It’s when a bhikkhu realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. That’s how a person is an exquisite ascetic of ascetics.
इमे खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारो पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिन्”ति।
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These are the four people found in the world.”
