Tatiyaṁ.
The Buddha describes the four individuals.
AN 4.133 One Who Understands Immediately
Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.
“Mendicants, these four individuals are found in the world.
Katame cattāro?
What four?
Ugghaṭitaññū, vipañcitaññū, neyyo, padaparamo—
One who understands immediately, one who understands after detailed explanation, one who needs education, and one who merely learns by rote.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These are the four individuals found in the world.”
Tatiyaṁ.
