"There is a man who is rich and has great wealth. He had only one son, who has already died. His son had a son, who is now abroad. This man, suddenly, dies.

Because the debt is one (of possessions). The case is the same with the Skandhas of the Srotapanna."
Skandhas: [are the five aggregates that comprise a being or individual, namely: 1. Matter (corporeality); 2. Feelings; 3. Perceptions; 4. Mental formations; 5. Consciousness].
Srotapanna: [a person who has entered the stream of Dharma and will be reborn at most seven times].
