【阿羅漢】《大論》云：「阿羅名賊，漢名破，一切煩惱賊破。復次，阿羅漢，一切漏盡故，應得一切世間諸天人供養。又，阿名不，羅漢名生，後世中更不生，是名阿羅漢。」《法華疏》云：「《阿颰（音跋）經》云應真，《瑞應》云：真人，悉是無生釋羅漢也。或言無翻，名含三義：無明穅脫，後世田中，不受生死果報，故云不生。九十八使煩惱盡故，名殺賊。具智斷功德，堪為人天福田，故言應供。含此三義，故存梵名。」

[Arhat] The Dazhidu lun says: "Ari means thief, and han means to slay; all thieves of affliction are slain. Furthermore, for an arhat, because all defilements are exhausted, they are worthy of receiving offerings from all worldly devas and humans. Moreover, a means non-, and rahan means birth; they are never born again in future lives; this is called arhat." The Fahua shu says: "The Aba jing calls them 'worthy of truth' (yingzhen); the Ruiying calls them 'true persons' (zhenren); these all interpret 'arhat' in terms of non-arising. Or some say it is not translated because the name contains three meanings: with the husk of ignorance sloughed off, in the field of future lifetimes they do not receive the retribution of saṃsāra, hence 'non-arising' (busheng). Because the ninety-eight dormant defilements are exhausted, it is called 'slayer of thieves' (shazei). Endowed with the virtues of wisdom and severance, they are worthy to be fields of merit for humans and devas, hence 'worthy of offerings' (yinggong). Because it contains these three meanings, the Sanskrit name is retained."
