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:

ā€œRādha, there are these five grasping aggregates. ā€œpaƱcime, rādha, upādānakkhandhā. What five? Katame paƱca? The grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. RÅ«pupādānakkhandho …pe… viññāṇupādānakkhandho. A mendicant comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five grasping aggregates’ origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape. Yato kho, rādha, bhikkhu imesaṁ paƱcannaṁ upādānakkhandhānaṁ samudayaƱca atthaį¹…gamaƱca assādaƱca ādÄ«navaƱca nissaraṇaƱca yathābhÅ«taṁ viditvā anupādāvimutto hoti—Such a mendicant 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 heart’s goal, utterly ended the fetter of continued existence, and is rightly freed through enlightenment.ā€ ayaṁ vuccati, rādha, bhikkhu arahaṁ khīṇāsavo vusitavā katakaraṇīyo ohitabhāro anuppattasadattho parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojano sammadaƱƱāvimuttoā€ti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
