Sutta 8
Arahanta Suttaṃ
Arahant
Once upon a time, The Lucky man,
Sāvatthi-town revisiting,
Jeta Grove,
Anathapiṇḍika's Park.
Then one time there the Ancient Rādha drew near Bhagava,
gave salutation,
and took a seat to one side.
At that time, so seated,
the Lucky Man said this to the Ancient Rādha:
"These five, Rādha,
are the grasped-after stockpiles.
What five?
These:
Grasped-after form,
grasped-after sense-experience,
grasped-after perception,
grasped-after own-making,
grasped-after consciousness.
Now, Rādha, whatever those shamans and Brahmans
do understand as it really is
the self-arising of
the settling down of
the satisfaction in
the disadvantages of,
the halting of,
these five grasped-after stockpiles
as they really are,
these are termed, Rādha,
a student of the aristocrats who is
arahant,
corrupting-influences-destroyed,
perfected,
duty's doing done
load laid down,
the highest goal reached
yokes to becoming exhausted,
freed by consummate enlightenment."
