As the *Sūtra on the Twelve Grades of Birth and Death* states: "The Buddha said: 'The death of human beings has twelve grades. What are the twelve? The first is called death without remainder, which refers to the arhat who has no attachments. The second is called death having crossed over, which refers to the anāgāmin who returns no more. The third is called death with remainder, which refers to the sakṛdāgāmin who goes and returns. The fourth is called death of one learning to cross over, which refers to the srotāpanna who has seen the traces of the path. The fifth is called death without deceit, which refers to the persons of the eight stages. The sixth is called death with joy, which refers to the practitioner of single-mindedness. The seventh is called death recurring frequently, which refers to people of bad morality. The eighth is called death with remorse, which refers to ordinary beings. The ninth is called untimely death, which refers to the solitary suffering. The tenth is called death bound and attached, which refers to animals. The eleventh is called death by scorching and burning, which refers to hell. The twelfth is called death by hunger and thirst, which refers to hungry ghosts. Monks should understand this and not become negligent.'"
