1. There are eight Ariyā (Noble Persons) or “aṭṭha purisa puggalā”. They are Sōtapanna Anugāmi, Sōtapanna, Sakadāgāmi Anugāmi, Sakadāgāmi, Anāgāmi Anugāmi, Anāgāmi, Arahant Anugāmi, and Arahant.
- The term “Cula Sotāpanna” is used by some (in the Commentaries) to denote a Sōtapanna Anugāmi. However, I have not seen that term in the Sutta Pitaka.
- In the Sutta Pitaka, a Sōtapanna Anugāmi is categorized in two types: Dhammānusārī and Saddhānusārī. See #2 of Sōtapanna Anugāmi – No More Births in the Apāyās.
- In the sutta quoted by Jittananto, those two categories are also mentioned: “evameva kho, bhikkhave, ye te bhikkhū dhammānusārino saddhānusārino, tepi tiriyaṁ mārassa sotaṁ chetvā sotthinā pāraṁ gamissanti.”
2. The “Khandha Sutta (SN 25.10)” is a short sutta that describes how one can become a Dhammānusārī and Saddhānusārī, and that they are also released from rebirth in the apayas.
