Different kinds of Sotapanna
(Reference: Anguttara Nikāya 3.87 (translation Bodhi))

There are three kinds of Sotapanna mentioned. With the utter destruction of the three fetters it is possibele to become:

-1. a seven-times-at-most attainer (sattakkhattuparama): after roaming and wandering on among devas and humans seven times at most, he/she makes an end of suffering. Bodhi says in note 525 this is the most sluggish of the three.

-2. a family-to-family attainer (kolamkola): after roaming and wandering on among good families two or three times, he/she makes an end to suffering.

-3. a one-seed attainer (ekabiji); after being reborn once more in human existence, makes an end of suffering.
