The Sutta Pitaka puts it this way (Mahaparinibbana

The brother named Salha, Ananda, by the destruction of the great evils has by himself and in this world, known and realized and attained to Arahatship, and to emancipation of heart and to emancipation of mind. The sister named Nanda, Ananda, has, by the complete destruction of the five bonds that bind people to this world, become an inheritor of the highest heavens, there to pass entirely away, thence never to return. The devout Sudatta, Ananda, by the complete destruction of the three bonds, and by the reduction to a minimum of hatred and delusion has become a Sakadagamin, who on his first return to this world will make an end of sorrow. The devout woman Sugata, Ananda, by the complete destruction of the three bonds, has become converted, is no longer liable to be reborn in a state of suffering, and is assured of final salvation.
The devout Kukudha, Ananda, by the complete destruction of the five bonds that bind people to these lower worlds, has become an inheritor of the highest heavens, there to pass entirely away, thence never to return...More than ninety devout people of Nadika, who have died, Ananda, have by the complete destruction of the three bonds, and by the reduction of hatred and delusion, become Sakadagamins, who on their first return to this world will make an end of sorrow."
