Arhant is a term that is often used in Hindu and Buddhist texts to describe a person who has attained complete liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This term can also be used synonymously with other words such as jivanmukta, mukta, or mukti. Jivanmukta means one who is liberated while still living, mukti is the state of liberation, and mukta refers to one who is free from all worldly attachments. Another synonym for arhant is bodhisattva, which is a person who strives for enlightenment and the enlightenment of others. These terms all describe a state of spiritual enlightenment and freedom from the cycle of suffering.
