The word "ariya" is often used now to mean one who is among the 8 type of individuals in the standard recollection of the Sangha. However, is this how it is used in the suttas? I see "asekha" for the arahanta and "sekha" for the rest, but not ariya. Ariya is used in other contexts.
Any knowledge on this? Know any studies done on this?
