天台四教儀 1.35

1.35

次明聖位，亦分三：一見道（初果）、二修道（二三果）、三無學道（四果）。一須陀洹，此翻預流，此位斷三界八十八使見惑，見真諦故名為見道，又名聖位。二斯陀含，此云一來，此位斷欲界九品思中，斷前六品盡，後三品猶在，故更一來。三阿那含，此云不來，此位斷欲殘思盡，進斷上八地思。四阿羅漢，此云無學，又云無生，又云殺賊，又云應供，此位斷見思俱盡，子縛已斷，果縛猶在，名有餘涅槃。若灰身滅智名無餘涅槃，又名孤調解脫。略明聲聞位竟。

Next, the noble ranks are explained, which are also divided into three: (1) the path of seeing (the first fruit), (2) the path of cultivation (the second and third fruits), and (3) the path of no-learning (the fourth fruit). First, the srotāpanna, which is translated as 'stream-enterer'; at this rank one severs the delusion of views of the eighty-eight proclivities in the three realms, and because one sees the ultimate truth, it is called the path of seeing, and is also called the noble rank. Second, the sakṛdāgāmin, which is translated as 'once-returner'; among the nine grades of thought delusion of the desire realm, one severs the first six grades completely, while the last three grades still remain; therefore one returns once more. Third, the anāgāmin, which is translated as 'non-returner'; at this rank one severs the remaining thought delusion of the desire realm completely, and advances to sever the thought delusion of the upper eight stages. Fourth, the arhat, which is translated as 'one of no-learning', also as 'unborn', also as 'slayer of the thieves', and also as 'worthy of offerings'; at this rank one severs views and thought completely; the bond of causes has already been severed, but the bond of retribution still remains; this is called nirvāṇa with remainder. If one turns the body to ash and extinguishes consciousness, it is called nirvāṇa without remainder, and is also called solitary and independent liberation. This concludes the brief explanation of the ranks of the śrāvaka.
