The Buddha told Ānanda, “Those twelve people, Karkaṭaka and the others, had cut the five lower bonds and were born in heaven when their lives ended. From there, they were completely extinguished and did not return to this world. Those fifty people whose lives have ended had eliminated the three bonds of lust, anger, and delusion. They became once-returners who’ll return to this world and then end the source of suffering. Those 500 people whose lives have ended had eliminated the three bonds and become stream-enterers. They didn’t fall to bad destinies and will surely achieve awakening. They’ll be reborn seven times and reach the end of suffering.
