4.145
If one realizes [the fruition of] anāgāmin, each has five, seven, or eight kinds of parinirvāṇa. The five kinds of parinirvāṇa are: parinirvāṇa in the intermediate state, parinirvāṇa upon rebirth, parinirvāṇa with exertion, parinirvāṇa without exertion, and parinirvāṇa upstream. The seven kinds expand parinirvāṇa in the intermediate state into three kinds. As for the eight kinds of parinirvāṇa: five are as before, with parinirvāṇa in the present life, parinirvāṇa in the formless realm, and indeterminate parinirvāṇa added (and so forth).
