103. This statement is reminiscent of the Buddha’s discourses that a person is not considered brahmin based on their birth, but because of their virtuous deeds and qualities. See, for example, the Soṇadaṇḍa Sutta of the Dīghanikāya (Walshe 1995, pp. 125–32) and the Vāseṭṭha Sutta of the Suttanipāta (Bodhi 2017, pp. 260–69).
