From another forum topic, Akvan had commented:
“I have heard or read (though I cannot recall where) that a sotapanna anugamu will definitely attain sotapanna pala before his death in that very same life time. If someone has a tripitaka reference for this would be great if you can share it.”
To which Siebe referred sutta SN25.1
https://suttacentral.net/sn25.1/en/sujato
^ The english translation of that sutta says:
“They can’t die without realizing the fruit of stream-entry.”
I’m not sure if that is the correct translation.
My question:
Will a Sotapanna Anugami become a Sotapanna in the very same jathi or very same bhava?
