[Sakṛdāgāmin] This is translated as "once-returning" (yiwanglai). The Jingang shu says: "When this person dies from here, they go once to the heavens and come once to the human realm, and then bring all suffering to an end." The Dazhidu lun says: "Śakṛdāgāmī: śakṛt means once, and āgāmī means to come; this is called 'once-comer'." The Sijiao yi says: "It is translated as 'diminished' (bao). What was previously severed was already much, and what remains unsevered is little, hence it is called diminished."
