voice-hearer fruits ([聲聞果]).
A. The four holy fruits achieved by voice-hearers on the Liberation Way are
(1) Srotāpanna, the Stream Enterer, who will attain Arhatship after at most seven times being reborn as a god then a human;
(2) Sakṛdāgāmin, the Once Returner, who will be reborn as a human only once more before attaining Arhatship;
(3) Anāgāmin, the Never Returner, who will not be reborn as a human but will attain Arhatship in a pure abode heaven in the form realm; and
(4) Arhat, the Foe Destroyer, who has attained the nirvāṇa with remnant by annihilating his fixation on having an autonomous self and eradicating all his afflictions.
B. These four holy fruits and the corresponding nearness to them are called the eight holy ranks (八聖). Actually, one who is in the first rank, nearing the first holy fruit, is only a sage, and those in the higher seven ranks are holy beings. Those who are still learning (śaikṣa, 有學) are in the first seven ranks. Only Arhats, in the eight rank, are those who have nothing more to learn (aśaikṣa, 無學).
