Na tena ariyo hoti yena pāṇāni hiṃsati.
Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ
"ariyo"ti pavuccati.
One is not noble who injures living beings.
One is called "noble" because
one is harmless towards all living beings.
Dhammapada 19.270
The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom,
translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita
