妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.229

2.229

阿羅漢者，此正云應。《成唯識》云：「應已永害煩惱賊，應無分段生，應受妙供養。」如前本論釋經有十五義，是《瑜伽》及此經但取害煩惱賊名阿羅漢，永斷所知障名為正等覺。故《瑜伽》云：「阿羅漢是共德，正等覺下是不共德。」舊云正遍知，即正覺、等覺、正等覺，如次簡外道、小乘、菩薩三種。

Arhat is properly translated as “Worthy” (ying). The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi states: “He ought to have perpetually slain the thieves of afflictions, ought to have no delimited rebirth, and ought to receive wondrous offerings.” As previously explained, the root treatise's interpretation of the sūtra has fifteen meanings; yet the Yogācārabhūmi and this sūtra merely take slaying the thieves of afflictions as the name Arhat, and perpetually severing cognitive obscurations as Samyaksambuddha. Therefore the Yogācārabhūmi says: “Arhat is a shared virtue; from Samyaksambuddha downward are unshared virtues.” Anciently it was called Zheng-bian-zhi (correct and universal knowledge), namely correct awakening, equal awakening, and correct equal awakening, which sequentially differentiate from the three kinds: non-Buddhists, the Hīnayāna, and bodhisattvas.
