Thūpārahasutta

Worthy of a Monument

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, thūpārahā.
“Mendicants, these four are worthy of a monument.

Katame cattāro?
What four?

Tathāgato arahaṁ sammāsambuddho thūpāraho, paccekabuddho thūpāraho, tathāgatasāvako thūpāraho, rājā cakkavattī thūpāraho—
A Realized One, a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha; an Independent Buddha; a disciple of a Realized One; and a wheel-turning monarch.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro thūpārahā”ti.
These four are worthy of a monument.”
