註四十二章經 1.29

1.29

梵語阿羅漢，此云應。應具三義也：一應斷煩惱障；二應不受後有身；三應受人、天妙供養。既成此聖果，能以六通飛行往來。又變化形體，凡俗莫測。住壽命者，或生或滅，延促自在。若要住世久長，則經劫不滅。又能以神通震動天地，蓋妙用難測也。

The Sanskrit term arhat is translated here as "worthy." "Worthy" embodies three meanings: first, worthy of severing the hindrance of afflictions; second, worthy of not receiving a body in future existence; third, worthy of receiving the marvelous offerings of humans and devas. Having attained this noble fruit, one can fly and travel about using the six supernormal knowledges. Moreover, one can transform one's physical form beyond the reckoning of ordinary mortals. As for "extending his lifespan," whether living or perishing, extending or shortening is at his ease. If he wishes to dwell in the world for a long time, he will not perish for kalpas. Furthermore, he can shake heaven and earth through supernormal powers; his marvelous functioning is indeed unfathomable.
