Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra, Volume 34 (73)

Original text:于诸圣谛现观已后。乃至永断见道所断一切烦恼。名远离作意。复从此后。为欲进断修所断惑。如所得道。更数修习。永断欲界上品中品诸烦恼已。得一来果。如预流果所有诸相。今于此中。当知亦尔。然少差别。

Explanation: After the direct realization of the Four Noble Truths, up until all afflictions to be abandoned through the path of seeing are forever eradicated, this is called the attention of withdrawal (远离作意). This is the stage of the srotāpanna, where the lower-grade afflictions of the desire realm are eradicated. Furthermore, from this point onward, in order to further eradicate the afflictive obscurations that should be abandoned through the path of cultivation, one diligently and earnestly cultivates practice repeatedly on the basis of the already-attained first fruit of eradicating the view of self (satkāya-dṛṣṭi). After forever eradicating the higher-grade and middle-grade afflictions of the desire realm, one attains the second fruit of the sakṛdāgāmin. Just as the srotāpanna possesses certain merits, so too does the sakṛdāgāmin possess such merits, but there are still some differences between them.
