"The fourth (category) is the Arhat. An
Arhat is one who cut the bonds of illusion, which made away with the burden on their
shoulders and who has attained what it wanted to have. Once all things were accomplished, it lives on
the tenth level. Attaining an
undisturbed state of Wisdom, it does what others wish to have and manifests itself (through) various images. If it desires to
accomplish the Buddha-Way, as should be accomplished, it can do it. Thus, one
who can accomplish innumerable virtues is an
Arhat.
These are the four kinds of people who appear, benefit, and feel pity of the world. Thus, they become the refuges of the world and bring peace and bliss to human and celestial beings. They are the most honored and most superb of all the humans and gods. It's like in the case of the Tathagata, who is the most superb among humans and gods, and is the Refuge of the world."
