[370] Then Sabhiya the wanderer … asked the Blessed One a further question:
"One who has attained what do they call 'versed in sacred lore (sottiya)'?" (said Sabhiya)
"By what [do they call one] 'noble (ariya),' and how 'one possessed of conduct (caraṇavā)'?
And how does one come to be named 'wanderer (paribbājaka)'?
When asked, O Blessed One, answer me."
"Having heard, having directly known every dhamma in the world," (Sabhiya, said the Blessed One)
"whatever there is, whether blameworthy or blameless,
a conqueror, free of perplexity, liberated,
untroubled in every respect — him they call 'versed in sacred lore.'
Having cut off attachments (ālaya) and taints (āsava),
that wise one does not come to lying in a womb;
having thrust away the threefold perception, the mire,
he does not come to figments (kappa) — him they call 'noble.'
Whoever here has attained the attainment in regard to the conducts,
skilled, having at all times understood the Dhamma,
clinging nowhere, his mind liberated,
in whom no repulsions (paṭigha) exist — he is 'one possessed of conduct.'
Whatever kamma there is that ripens in suffering (dukkha) —
above, below, and also across in the middle —
having driven it out, living with full understanding (pariññā),
he has made an end of deceit and conceit, and of greed and anger,
and of name-and-form (nāmarūpa) —
him they call a 'wanderer' who has attained the attainment."
