22.16

Xutuohuan 須陀洹 [srota-āpanna] (Correctly it is suluotuobao'nang [srotāpanna]. *Srota* (suluotuo) translates as 'entering'; *āpanna* (abochang) translates as 'stream'. It means having completely severed the afflictions of view, abandoned the nature of an ordinary being, first attained the noble nature, and entered into the stream of noble practice; hence it is called 'entering the stream' (ruliu). The reason why the character huan 洹 was placed in the old [transcription] is unknown).
