[241] S. Does the Arahant fall away from Arahantship (arahatta)?
P. Yes.
S. Is not the Arahant devoid of lust (rāga), devoid of hatred (dosa), devoid of delusion (moha) — one who has done what had to be done, who has laid down the burden, who has attained his own goal, in whom the fetters (saṃyojana) of existence are utterly destroyed, who is liberated through right final knowledge; one whose cross-bar is lifted, whose moat is filled in, whose pillar is drawn out, who has no bolt; a noble one (ariya) whose banner is lowered, whose burden is put down, who is unfettered, whose victory is fully won; by whom suffering (dukkha) has been fully understood, the origin (samudaya) abandoned, cessation (nirodha) realized, the path (magga) developed; by whom what is to be directly known has been directly known, what is to be fully understood has been fully understood, what is to be abandoned has been abandoned, what is to be developed has been developed, what is to be realized has been realized?
P. Yes.
S. If the Arahant is devoid of lust, devoid of hatred, … if what is to be realized has been realized — then indeed, good sir, it should not be said: "The Arahant falls away from Arahantship."
