Arahantasutta A Perfected One

āPaƱcime, bhikkhave, upÄdÄnakkhandhÄ. āMendicants, there are these five grasping aggregates.
Katame paƱca? What five?
Seyyathidaį¹ārÅ«pupÄdÄnakkhandho ā¦peā¦ viƱƱÄį¹upÄdÄnakkhandho. That is, the grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.

A mendicant comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five grasping aggregatesā origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape. The stream-enterer (as in the previous discourse) and the perfected one (arahant) share the same understanding of the aggregates as they truly are, but the arahant has fully let go of all grasping. Note too that the stream-enterer is said to be a ānoble discipleā, which includes lay people, but the arahant is a āmendicantā. The discourses do not say that formal ordination is a requirement for arahantship, but they consistently treat the arahant as one who lives the renunciate life of a mendicant.

Such a mendicant is called a perfected one, with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their heartās goal, utterly ended the fetter of continued existence, and is rightly freed through enlightenment.ā
