俱舍論記 25.44

25.44

「然喬底迦至阿羅漢果」者，經部又復通經。所以須通此經文者，說一切有部意：有阿羅漢名喬底迦，由鈍根故六返退失阿羅漢已，第七返還得阿羅漢果時，恐復退失以刀自害。故今通言：然喬底迦六返退者，昔在學位於時解脫有漏定中極噉味故、又鈍根故，六反退失，深自厭責執刀自害。由於身命無所戀惜，至第七返臨命終時，得阿羅漢便般涅槃。故喬底迦但於學位退有漏定，亦非退失阿羅漢果。喬底迦是牧牛種。又真諦云：「喬底迦此云瓦器，本是外道，恒執瓦器自隨，仍本為名。」

"However, as for Godhika […] the fruit of the arhat": the Sautrāntika further explains the sūtra. Why it is necessary to explain this scriptural text: the Sarvāstivāda's intention is that there was an arhat named Godhika who, because of dull faculties, fell away six times from being an arhat, and upon attaining the fruit of the arhat for the seventh time, fearing he would fall away again, took his own life with a knife. Therefore [the Sautrāntika] now explains: however, as for Godhika's falling away six times, formerly in the stage of a trainee (śaikṣa), he relished the temporary liberation of contaminated absorption intensely and was also of dull faculties; thus he fell away six times, deeply reproached himself, and took his own life with a knife. Because he had no longing or attachment to his body and life, when approaching the end of his life for the seventh time, he attained the state of an arhat and entered parinirvāṇa. Therefore, Godhika only fell away from contaminated absorption in the stage of a trainee, and did not fall away from the fruit of the arhat. Godhika belonged to the cowherd lineage. Paramārtha also says: "Godhika is translated here as 'earthen vessel' (ghatika); he was originally an outsider who always carried an earthen vessel with him, and was named after this original [habit]."
