A once-returner; a religious practitioner who has only one more return to this life. Transliterated from the Sanskrit sakr!d-a^ga^mi as 斯陀含， one of the four levels of attainment 四果 of practice toward arhatship 阿罗汉. This stage is divided up into two parts: one who is entering on to the stage 一来向， and one who has completed it 一来果. The person who has achieved this stage has eradicated the first six of the nine kinds of defilement 九种烦恼; s/he will be reborn again one more time as a god or human， and then attain nirvana. Also called "the second attainment" 第二果.
