Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAraṇāsamādhivihārin (अरणासमाधिविहारिन्) refers to “have attained the concentration of tranquility”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 16.—Accordingly, “Among the Buddha’s disciples, Śāriputra is the first of the sages, and Subhūti is the first of those who have attained the concentration of tranquility (araṇasamādhivihārin). By this practice of tranquility, he ceaselessly considers beings in order to prevent them from experiencing any passion whatsoever [for him], and he always practices great compassion. This compassion is like that of the Bodhisattvas who take the great vow to save beings. This is why the Buddha directs him to teach.”.
