The Second Discourse on Fear and Enmity Allayed
1025.
At Sāvatthī. Etc.
"When, monks, for a noble disciple these five fears and enmities are allayed, he is endowed with these four factors of stream-entry, and this noble true method is well seen and thoroughly penetrated by wisdom,
he may, if he wishes, declare of himself:
'For me, hell is eliminated, the animal realm is eliminated, the sphere of ghosts is eliminated, the realm of misery, the unfortunate realm, the nether world is eliminated;
I am a stream-enterer, no longer subject to fall into lower realms, fixed in destiny, heading for the highest enlightenment.'"
The ninth.
