SN 23.8 A Perfected One – Arahantasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

When Venerable Rādha was seated to one side, the Buddha said to him:

Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ rādhaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:

“Rādha, there are these five grasping aggregates.

“pañcime, rādha, upādānakkhandhā.

What five?

Katame pañca?

The grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness.

Rūpupādānakkhandho …pe… viññāṇupādānakkhandho.

A bhikkhu comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five grasping aggregates’ origin, ending, gratification, drawback, and escape.

Yato kho, rādha, bhikkhu imesaṁ pañcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ viditvā anupādāvimutto hoti—

Such a bhikkhu is called a perfected one, with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their own true goal, utterly ended the fetters of rebirth, and is rightly freed through enlightenment.”

ayaṁ vuccati, rādha, bhikkhu arahaṁ khīṇāsavo vusitavā katakaraṇīyo ohitabhāro anuppattasadattho parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojano sammadaññāvimutto”ti.
