Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

4: The Book of the Fours

247. Worthy of a Stūpa

1"Bhikkhus, these four are worthy of a stupa. What four? The Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One; a paccekabuddha; a Tathāgata's disciple; and a universal monarch. These four are worthy of a stupa." [n.961] See AN2.55.

1"Cattārome, bhikkhave, thūpārahā. Katame cattāro? Tathāgato arahaṁ sammāsambuddho thūpāraho, paccekabuddho thūpāraho, tathāgatasāvako thūpāraho, rājā cakkavattī thūpāraho – ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro thūpārahā"ti.


Pañcamaṁ.
