Dutiyasaṁkhittasutta

One who has developed the five faculties fully is a perfected one. Developing them to a lesser degree, one reaches lesser attainments. A difference in faculties leads to a difference in fruits.

1.1“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni.“Mendicants, there are these five faculties.1.2Katamāni pañca?What five?1.3Saddhindriyaṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ—The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.1.4imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcindriyāni.These are the five faculties.

1.5Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ samattā paripūrattā arahaṁ hoti, tato mudutarehi anāgāmī hoti, tato mudutarehi sakadāgāmī hoti, tato mudutarehi sotāpanno hoti, tato mudutarehi dhammānusārī hoti, tato mudutarehi saddhānusārī hoti.Someone who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is a perfected one. If they are weaker than that, they’re a non-returner … a once-returner … a stream-enterer … a follower of teachings … a follower by faith.

1.6Iti kho, bhikkhave, indriyavemattatā phalavemattatā hoti, phalavemattatā puggalavemattatā”ti.So from a disparity of faculties there’s a disparity of fruits. And from a disparity of fruits there’s a disparity of individuals.”
