niyata puggala

a 'person with a fixed destiny', may be either one who has committed one of the 5 'heinous deeds with immediate result' (a^nantarika-kamma, q.v.), or one who follows 'wrong views with fixed destiny' (niyata-miccha^-ditthi, q.v.), or one who has reached one of the 4 stages of holiness (s. ariya-puggala). About the latter cf. the frequent passage: "Those disciples in whom the 3 fetters (of personality-belief, sceptical doubt and attachment to mere rules and ritual; s. samyojana) have vanished, they all have entered the stream, have forever escaped the states of woe; fixed is their destiny (niyata), assured their final enlightenment."
