N: There are the expressions: sotaapatti magga and sotaapatti phala.
I think that these refer to the magga-citta (lokuttara kusala citta)
of the sotaapanna and the phalacitta (lokuttara vipaakacitta
immediately following) of the sotaapanna. Thus, sotapattiphala: who
has realized the fruition-consciousness of the stage of the sotaapanna.
I have come across the expression of someone who should realize
maggaphala. I take this as: realize maggacitta and phalacitta.
