Paį¹hamasotÄpannasutta A Stream-Enterer (1st)
āPaƱcimÄni, bhikkhave, indriyÄni. āMendicants, there are these five faculties.
KatamÄni paƱca? What five?
Saddhindriyaį¹, vÄ«riyindriyaį¹, satindriyaį¹, samÄdhindriyaį¹, paƱƱindriyaį¹. The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.
Yato kho, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvako imesaį¹ paƱcannaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ assÄdaƱca ÄdÄ«navaƱca nissaraį¹aƱca yathÄbhÅ«taį¹ pajÄnÄtiāA noble disciple comes to truly understand these five facultiesā gratification, drawback, and escape. Of all the sets dealing with the path, only the five faculties are analyzed according to gratification, drawback, and escape. This treatment is elsewhere used for the factors under the wisdom analysis of the phenomena of reality, such as the five aggregates and the six senses. This reflects the fact that the ā22 facultiesā include, as well as the path, also the senses and other phenomena. Thus the category as a whole melds the path (fourth noble truth) with the phenomena of suffering (first noble truth). This is even implicit in the notion of āfacultyā as not just something that one might elect to practice, but a potential within each person. Later in the Saį¹yutta we see other similar examples, also unique to the faculties, where they are treated according to āorigin and disappearanceā (SN 48.3) and the four noble truths (SN 48.7).
ayaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvako sotÄpanno avinipÄtadhammo niyato sambodhiparÄyaį¹oāti. Such a noble disciple is called a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.ā
