Layman Isidattaperson
2 discourses
One of the two master builders of Rājagaha, the celibate and the married pair whom Migasālā held up as proof that conduct does not decide destiny: both were declared stream-enterers, and the Buddha turned her challenge into the teaching on the ten kinds of persons (AN 6.44, AN 10.75). Isidatta received the four factors of stream-entry with his fellow builder (SN 55.6) and was counted among the six-quality householders bound for heaven (AN 6.120–139).
Discourses
The Buddha explains the six kinds of persons found existing in the world based on their mental qualities and understanding of the Dhamma.
PTS 3.347–3.350When Migasālā questions why her celibate father and married uncle shared an identical destination in the next life, the Buddha outlines ten types of individuals based on their ethical conduct and understanding of liberation, emphasizing that only the Tathāgata can truly discern their differences, and advising against measuring or judging others.
PTS 5.137–5.143
