俱舍論疏 24.44

24.44

論「此并前五至并前六為七」，結七數也。即是一中般、二生般、三有行般、四無行般、五行色上流、六行無色上流、七現般。若加轉生，即有八種。現般分二，即有九種。若不生色界，雖有轉生，亦名現般。或開為二。《正理》又云「或應總立九種不還。謂現涅槃分為二種，一於先位善辨聖旨、二臨終時方能善辨，總成八種。更加轉，生故成九種。言轉生者，謂於前生已得預流或一來果，於今生內方得不還。前現般言，唯目現世初得入聖至涅槃者。」

On the treatise passage, "These, together with the former five... together with the former six, make seven": This concludes the count of seven. That is: 1. attaining parinirvāṇa in the intermediate state, 2. attaining parinirvāṇa upon rebirth, 3. attaining parinirvāṇa with effort, 4. attaining parinirvāṇa without effort, 5. the upstream practitioner who fares in the form realm, 6. the upstream practitioner who fares in the formless realm, and 7. attaining parinirvāṇa in the present life. If one adds taking further birth, there are eight kinds. If one divides attaining parinirvāṇa in the present life into two, there are nine kinds. If one is not reborn in the form realm, even if there is further birth, it is also called attaining parinirvāṇa in the present life; alternatively, it may be divided into two. The Nyāyānusāra also states: "Or one should establish nine kinds of non-returners in total. That is, dividing those who attain nirvāṇa in the present life into two kinds: first, those who clearly master the noble aim at an earlier stage; second, those who are only able to clearly master it at the time of death, making eight kinds in total. Furthermore, adding taking further birth, they become nine kinds. 'Taking further birth' means having already obtained the fruit of stream-enterer or once-returner in a previous life, only obtaining non-returner within the present life. The earlier phrase 'attaining parinirvāṇa in the present life' designates only one who newly enters the noble state in the present life and proceeds to nirvāṇa."
