The Dhamma well proclaimed by me thus is clear, open, evident, and free of patchwork. In the Dhamma well proclaimed by me thus, which is clear, open, evident, and free of patchwork, for those bhikkhus who have abandoned the three fetters, all of them are stream-enterers, not liable to fall into a lower state, fixed in their destiny, bound for full awakening.

Even in heavenly sensual pleasures,
he finds no delight;
he delights in the wearing away of craving,
such is the disciple of the perfectly Awakened One.
