So with the person consummate in virtue & conviction, humble, sensitive, gentle, delightful, & mild: To him come those without effluent— free from passion, free from aversion, free from delusion— the field of merit for the world. They teach him the Dhamma that dispels all stress. And when he understands, he is freed from effluents, totally unbound. See also: AN 5:199; Iti 107 - --> - - - -
