All this formerly was noble. Thus said the arhat seer Āriyāyaṇa: ||*1
||*2
One should avoid an ignoble disposition and ignoble action,
and ignoble friends, remaining steadfast in nobleness. ||1
Those ignoble persons who continually perform ignoble action,
and associate with ignoble friends, sink in the ocean of existence. ||2
One should unite with the noble path, or with whatever action is noble;
and noble friends, steadfast in noble quality. ||3
Those people who are noble, continuously doing noble work
and having noble friends, are released from the ocean of saṃsāra. ||4
Noble knowledge is good; noble view is good;
noble conduct is good; therefore cultivate what is noble. ||5
Thus he is perfected, enlightened... he does not come here again into existence—thus I say. ||*3
