The āsight of asceticsā was held to be an inspiration that can set one on the path. In the absence of written books, it was also a prerequisite for hearing the teachings (DN 14:2.14.1, MN 81:6.5, SN 46.3:1.1, AN 6.30, Snp 2.4:10.2, Snp 4.4:1.1).

Accordingly, the text emphasizes the investigation into the āteachingsā that one has heard. The previous discourse emphasized the discernment between right and wrong. Of course, these are never really separate, as the Buddha teaches us to discern what is right and what is wrong (DN 19:7.1).

Katame satta phalÄ sattÄnisaį¹sÄ? What seven?

If not, with the ending of the five lower fetters, theyāre extinguished between one life and the next. From here we the standard five-fold classification of non-returners, graded by the swiftness of their insight. | The first is an individual who dies as a non-returner, but their insight is so swift that they abandon all defilements before taking rebirth in the Pure Abodes. See SN 44.9:6.4 and note.
No ce diį¹į¹heva dhamme paį¹ikacca aƱƱaį¹ ÄrÄdheti, no ce maraį¹akÄle aƱƱaį¹ ÄrÄdheti, no ce paƱcannaį¹ orambhÄgiyÄnaį¹ saį¹yojanÄnaį¹ parikkhayÄ antarÄparinibbÄyÄ« hoti, atha paƱcannaį¹ orambhÄgiyÄnaį¹ saį¹yojanÄnaį¹ parikkhayÄ upahaccaparinibbÄyÄ« hoti.

khÄraparinibbÄyÄ« hoti. If not, with the ending of the five lower fetters theyāre extinguished without extra effort. Their past practice sustains their further development so that remaining defilements are shed easily.
