This means these bhikṣus were not trainees (śaikṣa); all possessed the ultimate fruit of non-training (aśaikṣa). “Arhat” contains three meanings: first, “worthy of offerings,” because they are capable of serving as fields of merit for humans and devas—this is the fruit of the “beggar of sustenance”; second, “slayer of thieves,” because they have cut off afflictions completely—this is the fruit of the “destroyer of evil”; third, “unborn,” because they do not undergo subsequent existence—this is the fruit of the “terrorizer of Māra.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760.1.39) - [Next: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760.1.41) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760~en-mt.1.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760.1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1760.1.40) · Pramāṇa
