“And furthermore, O king, those of the Bhikkhus who have taken upon themselves the extra vows, who desire little and are content, who would loathe any breach of the regulations as to the manner of seeking an alms, and beg straight on from hut to hut, as a bee smells flower after flower, and then go away into the loneliness of the woods, those who are indifferent as to their body and as to life, those who have attained to Arahatship, those who place the highest value on the virtues of the practice of the extra vows—such Bhikkhus are called, O king, “The judges in the Blessed One’s City of Righteousness.” Mil 6.4.1

“Tâu đại vương, hơn nữa những vị tỳ khưu nào đã theo đuổi các pháp từ khước, ít ham muốn, tự biết đủ, chán ghét sự yêu cầu và sự tầm cầu sai trái, đi khất thực theo từng nhà, tợ như các con ong hút lấy hương hoa rồi đi vào khu rừng cô quạnh, không quan tâm đến thân thể và mạng sống, đã đạt được phẩm vị A-la-hán, đã được xem là tối thắng về đức hạnh của các pháp từ khước, tâu đại vương, những vị tỳ khưu như thế được gọi là ‘những vị quan tòa’ ở thành phố Giáo Pháp của đức Thế Tôn.”
