DHAMMAPADA XIX, 15

Syair 270

Dengan menyiksa makhluk-makhluk hidup, seseorang tidak dapat dikatakan ariya (mulia). Ia dapat dikatakan ariya karena tidak menyiksa makhluk-makhluk hidup.

Sawijining wong ora patut sinebut luhur ing budi (ariya), menawa isih sok mamateni sapepadhane urip. Nanging dheweke kang wis ora tau memateni sarta ora sok nyikara sapepadhane urip; iku kang patut sinebut wong kang luhur ing budi (Ariya).

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.

na tena ariyo hoti

yena pnni hisati

ahis sabbapnna

ariyo ti pavuccati
