Birth is destroyed, the spiritual life has been lived, what had to be done has been done; there is no more coming back to any state of being

Liberation[edit]

According to Rhys Davids & Stede (1921–25), "Freedom from the 'Āsavas' constitutes Arahantship."^[6] According to Bhikkhu Bodhi,

When the disciple's mind is liberated from the taints by the completion of the path of arhantship, he reviews his newly won freedom and roars his lion's roar: "Birth is destroyed, the spiritual life has been lived, what had to be done has been done; there is no more coming back to any state of being."^[3]
