Those who lack experiential confidence in the Buddha, the teaching, and the Saṅgha, and lack the ethics loved by the noble ones, do not know that they are stream-enterers. But those who have experiential confidence in the Buddha, the teaching, and the Saṅgha, and have the ethics loved by the noble ones, do know that they are stream-enterers.”

“But Tissa, is it only the gods of the four great kings who know that they are stream-enterers, or do the gods of the thirty-three … the gods of Yama … the joyful gods … the gods who love to create … and the gods who control what is created by others know that they are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening?”

“The gods of these various classes know this.”

“But do all of them know this?”
