At Kapilavatthu. Kapilavatthunidānaṁ. Seated to one side, the Buddha said to Mahānāma the Sakyan: Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho mahānāmaṁ sakkaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:

“Mahānāma, a noble disciple who has four things is a stream-enterer …” “catūhi kho, mahānāma, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti …pe… sambodhiparāyaṇo.

Katamehi catūhi? Idha, mahānāma, ariyasāvako buddhe …pe… dhamme …pe… saṅghe …pe… ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi. Imehi kho, mahānāma, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo”ti.

Navamaṁ.
