2.29

二、位。阿羅漢,此翻無著。或言無翻而含三義,謂不生、殺賊、應供也。無明糠脫,後世田中不受生死果報,故言不生。九十八使惑盡,故名殺賊。具智斷功德,堪為人天福田,故言應供。

Second, their rank. "Arhat" is translated here as "unattached." Alternatively, some say it is not translated and contains three meanings: namely, non-arising, slayer of thieves, and worthy of offerings. With the chaff of ignorance stripped away, in the field of future lives one does not receive the fruition-retribution of birth-and-death; hence "non-arising." The ninety-eight afflictive bondages are exhausted; hence the name "slayer of thieves." Possessing the merits of wisdom and elimination, he is worthy to be a field of merit for humans and devas; hence "worthy of offerings."
