24.22

The explanation says: The five kinds of anāgāmins bound for the form realm are divided into nine kinds, which are first generally grouped into three: first, those who attain nirvāṇa in the intermediate state; second, those who attain nirvāṇa upon rebirth; and third, those who attain nirvāṇa by journeying upstream. Both those with effort and those without effort attain parinirvāṇa having already been born in the form realm, and are thus both subsumed under those who attain nirvāṇa upon rebirth. These three each have three, hence forming nine kinds. The three who attain nirvāṇa in the intermediate state are: 1. those who attain it swiftly, 2. those who attain it not swiftly, and 3. those who attain it after a long time, as illustrated by the simile of the three sparks. The three who attain nirvāṇa upon rebirth are: 1. 'attaining upon rebirth' is established with reference to swiftness; 2. 'attaining with effort' is established with reference to non-swiftness; and 3. 'attaining without effort' is established with reference to a long time. The three who journey upstream are: 1. the complete jumper, established with reference to swiftness; 2. the half jumper, established with reference to non-swiftness; and 3. those who traverse all stations, established with reference to a long time.
