3. The Six Faculties – 3. Chaḷindriyavagga

SN 48.27 A Perfected One – Arahantasutta

 

“Bhikkhū, there are these six faculties.

“Chayimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni.

What six?

Katamāni cha?

The faculties of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

Cakkhundriyaṁ, sotindriyaṁ, ghānindriyaṁ, jivhindriyaṁ, kāyindriyaṁ, manindriyaṁ.

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

Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu imesaṁ channaṁ indriyānaṁ 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, bhikkhave, ‘bhikkhu arahaṁ khīṇāsavo vusitavā katakaraṇīyo ohitabhāro anuppattasadattho parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojano sammadaññāvimutto’”ti.
