OF ARAHANTS, BUDDHAS & BODHISATTAS by Bhante Punnaji

During the Sutta Class lesson od 4th April 2014 at the Buddhist Maha Vihara, one devotee asked about the attainment of Buddhahood. Ven Dr Punnaji Mahathera responded and went on to elaborate on the divergence in Buddhism during the 2nd Council about 100 years after the Buddha's parinibbāna.

Gotama's pure beautiful teaching corrupted by greed and laziness and ignorance of so called "followers". Sad. Thank you Bhante for the wisdom.

Namo Buddhaya, At 0:48 Ven Bhante Punnaji explain that the word Arahant comes from "ara", which means, "rope"; but i was not able to find this word in the pali dictionary; could you please type this word in accordance with the the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (I.A.S.T.)? Thanks.
