4.144

Furthermore, as for those who leap over fruitions: while an ordinary person, having severed six grades up to eight grades of the desire realm completely, one enters the path of seeing and produces the true clarity of the patience with suffering. Within the fifteen mental moments, one is a candidate for sakṛdāgāmin; at the sixteenth mental moment, one realizes the fruition of sakṛdāgāmin. If while an ordinary person, one has already completely severed the nine grades of two realms, up to completely severing [the defilements of] the sphere of nothingness, and later enters the fifteen mental moments of seeing the truths, this is called the practice of an anāgāmin. At the sixteenth mental moment, one realizes the fruition of anāgāmin. This is called a leaping person who realizes the latter two fruitions. Although the understanding through faith is movable, their fundamental dispositions differ, namely: falling back, guarding, reflecting, abiding, and advancing.
