.
thfough loss of three fetters, from the diminution of greed, anger and infatuation, being sakaddgamis, having come to this world only once more, shall make an end of suffering.
Five hundred efficient lay devotees . . . having died, becoming sotdpannos through the loss of three fetters, not being liable to a state of destruction (apdyo), axe self- controlled, being sustained by perfect knowledge ' (of the Four Noble Truths).
All this shows the object and aim of Buddhist morality to be, not the... attainment of holiness, but that of Nirvana.
We see also how thoroughly Buddha had incorporated into his system, though with modifications, the belief in transmigration which was prevalent among the Hindus of his day, although this doctrine has been rightly sup- posed ^ to have formed no part of the original creed of the Aryans in any part of the world, but to have been borrowed by them in India from the earlier inhabitants' whom they had conquered.
