“These four people are found in the world.

Katame cattāro?
What four?

Uṭṭhānaphalūpajīvī na kammaphalūpajīvī,
One who lives off the fruit of initiative, but not deeds;

kammaphalūpajīvī na uṭṭhānaphalūpajīvī,
one who lives off the fruit of deeds, but not initiative;

uṭṭhānaphalūpajīvī ceva kammaphalūpajīvī ca,
one who lives off the fruit of both deeds and initiative;

neva uṭṭhānaphalūpajīvī na kammaphalūpajīvī—
one who lives off the fruit of neither initiative nor deeds.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These are the four people found in the world.”
