五種不還

The five kinds of (sa) anāgāmins 那含, who never return to the desire-realm:

(1) 中般 the (sa) anāgāmin who enters on the intermediate stage between the realm of desire and the higher realm of form;

(2) 生般 who is born into the form world and soon overcomes the remains of illusion;

(3) 有行般 who diligently works his way through the final stages;

(4) 無行般 whose final departure is delayed through lack of aid and slackness;

(5) 上流般 who proceeds from lower to higher heavens into nirvana. Also 五種那含 and 五種般 the 般 being 'Parinirvāṇa'.
