A Perfected One (1st) Paį¹­hamaarahantasutta

ā€œMendicants, there are these five faculties. ā€œPaƱcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. What five? Katamāni paƱca? The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. Saddhindriyaṁ, vÄ«riyindriyaṁ, satindriyaṁ, samādhindriyaṁ, paƱƱindriyaṁ. A noble disciple comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five faculties’ gratification, drawback, and escape. Yato kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako imesaṁ paƱcannaṁ indriyānaṁ 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, bhikkhave, bhikkhu arahaṁ khīṇāsavo vusitavā katakaraṇīyo ohitabhāro anuppattasadattho parikkhīṇabhavasaṁyojano sammadaƱƱāvimuttoā€ti.

Catutthaṁ.
