Na tena ariyo hoti,
yena pāṇāni hiṃsati;
Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ,
“ariyo”ti pavuccati.

A man is not an elect (Ariya) because he injures living creatures; because he has pity on all living creatures, therefore is a man called Ariya.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
