§ 96.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Tied by the yoke of sensuality & the yoke of becoming, one is a returner, returning to this state. Untied from the yoke of sensuality but tied by the yoke of becoming, one is a non-returner, not returning to this state. Untied from [both] the yoke of sensuality & from the yoke of becoming, one is an Arahant whose fermentations are ended."

Tied by both
    the yoke of sensuality
&    the yoke of becoming,
beings go to the wandering-on
    leading to birth
    & death.
Those who've abandoned the sensual
without reaching the ending of fermentations,
are tied        by the yoke of becoming,
are said to be        Non-returners.
While those who've cut off doubt
    have no more conceit
        or further becoming.
They who have reached
    the ending of fermentations,
while in the world
    have gone       
            beyond.
