四果 The Four Fruits (of the śrāvaka path) (catvāri-phalani). See 四向四果.
The four phala, i. e. fruitions, or rewards — srota-āpanna-phala, sakrdāgāmi-phala, anāgāmiphala, arhat-phala, i. e. four grades of saintship; see 須陀洹; 斯陀含, 阿那含, and 阿離漢. The four titles are also applied to four grades of śramanas— yellow and blue flower śramanas, lotus śramanas, meek śramanas, and ultra-meek śramanas.
１．指聲聞乘的四種果位，即須陀洹果、斯陀含果、阿那含果、阿羅漢果。初果須陀洹，華譯為入流，意即初入聖人之流；二果斯陀含，華譯為一來，意即修到此果位者，死後生到天上去做一世天人，再生到我們此世界一次，便不再來欲界受生死了；三果阿那含，華譯為無還，意即修到此果位者，不再生於欲界；四果阿羅漢，華譯為無生，意即修到此果位者，解脫生死，不受後有，為聲聞乘的最高果位。
２．指阿羅漢。
俱舍論六卷二十二頁云：復有餘師，前五果外，別說四果。一、安立果，謂如水輪為風輪果，乃至草等為大地果。二、加行果，謂如無生智等遠為不淨等果。三、和合果，謂如眼識等為眼根等果。四、修習果，謂如化心等為諸靜慮果。如是四果，皆是士用增上果攝。
（名數）聲聞乘聖果之差別也，舊譯家以梵名，謂為須陀洹果Srotapanna phala，巴Sotapanna phala，斯陀含果Sakrdagami，阿那含果Angami-，阿羅漢果Arahat-，新譯家以前三果翻名為預流果，一來果。不還果，阿羅漢果仍其舊。一須陀洹果，舊作入流，逆流。入流預流，同一之義。謂去凡夫初入聖道之法流也，逆流者，謂入聖位逆生死之暴流也。申言之，即三界見惑斷盡之位也。二斯陀含果，譯云一來。斷欲界九地思惑（新曰修惑）中前六品，尚餘後三品者也。為其後三品之思惑，尚當於欲界之人間與天界（六欲天），受生一度，故曰一來，一來者一度往來之義也。三阿那含果，舊譯不來，新云不還，斷盡欲惑後三品之殘餘，不再還來欲界之位也。爾後受生則必為色界無色界。四阿羅漢果，譯作殺賊，應供，不生。上至非想處一切思惑斷盡之聲聞乘極果也。以其斷盡一切見思二惑，故謂之殺賊，既得極果應受人天之供養，故曰應供，一世之果報盡，故永入涅槃，不再來生三界，故謂之不生。【又】一黃藍花沙門，須陀洹之聖者也。二芬陀利花沙門，斯阿含果之聖者也。三柔軟沙門，阿那含之聖者也。四柔軟中柔軟沙門，阿羅漢果也。見增一阿含二十。
