Fascicle three of the Prakaraṇāryavācā then gives twenty-nine, adding the follower by faith and the follower by the Dharma. Those twenty-nine persons are subsumed among the remaining nineteen persons after excluding the first nine persons from the twenty-eight explained here. If relying on the Sarvāstivāda's twenty-seven kinds, the selections and omissions differ slightly. As the Nyāyānusāra, fascicle sixty-five, says: There are two fields of merit: first, those in training (śaikṣa); second, those beyond training (aśaikṣa). There are eighteen in training: the four candidates and three fruits constitute seven; together with the follower by faith, follower by the Dharma, liberated by faith, attained by vision, kulaṃkula, ekavīcika, intermediate, upon rebirth, with exertion, without exertion, and upward-flowing, these are called the eighteen. Those beyond training are nine: namely, liable to fall back, liable to think, protecting, abiding, capable of advancing, unshakable, non-falling back, liberated by wisdom, and doubly liberated—these are called the nine. Those in training and beyond training together form twenty-seven. According to the later Sautrāntikas and the masters of the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra, there are also differences among these noble beings.
