成唯識論述記 3.694

3.694

述曰：「阿羅漢」言「應」，即殺賊、應供、無生三義故也。何故不言離所知障？所知障體不障解脫，無能發業潤生用故。何故不言離變易死？二乘無學有變易生，此非由煩惱所招起故。已離繫縛得解脫，故無分段死。有學亦是殊勝福田，如見道出等，供養獲現福。何故不得名應供耶？非一切時堪受供故，望自乘無學，非是圓滿故。

The Commentary states: The word "arhat" means "worthy", which comprises the three meanings of slaying the thieves, worthy of offerings, and non-arising. Why does it not mention being free from the cognitive obstruction? The substance of the cognitive obstruction does not obstruct liberation, having no function to generate karma or moisten rebirth. Why does it not mention being free from the death of transformation? The non-learners of the two vehicles have transformational birth, which is not brought about or generated by afflictions. Because they are already free from bonds and have attained liberation, they have no death in segments. Learners are also superior fields of merit; as when emerging from the path of seeing, making offerings to them brings present merit. Why do they not obtain the name "worthy of offerings"? Because they are not capable of receiving offerings at all times, and relative to the non-learners of their own vehicle, they are not complete.
