19: The Chapter about One who stands by <strong>Dhamma</strong> – 239<br />

The true noble one<br />

A fisherman named Noble was going about his business one<br />

day when the Buddha and the monks walked by; the Buddha<br />

asked him his name, and on reply told him that only one who<br />

does not hurt other beings should be called noble.<br />

270. Na tena ariyo hoti yena pāṇāni hiṁsati,<br />

ahiṁsā sabbapāṇānaṁ ariyo ti pavuccati.<br />

Through not hurting breathing beings<br />

one is noble, the one who does<br />

not hurt any breathing beings<br />

is truly said to be noble.
