1.22

*Arha*: the Qin rendered it as 'Worthy of Offerings' (應供, arhat). The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: 'He should receive the offerings of all heaven, earth, and living beings.' It is also translated as 'Slayer of Thieves' and also translated as 'Unborn'. The Guan wuliangshou jing shu says: 'In India there are three similar names: *arha*, translated as Worthy of Offerings; *arhat*, translated as Unborn; and *aruhāt*, translated as Slayer of Thieves.'
