# Aristocratic

Translated from the Pāḷi

Michael M. Olds

[1][pts] I Hear Tell:

Once upon a time Bhagava,
Sāvatthi-town revisiting,
Anāthapiṇḍika's Jeta-forest park.

"Four, beggars,
are the onward-leading Aristocratic power-paths
which developed,
made a big thing of,
lead on the practitioner thereof
to the consummate destruction of pain.

What four?

Here beggars, a beggar develops the power-path
that is wish-serenity-connected-exertion-own-making,

develops the power-path
that is energy-serenity-connected-exertion-own-making,

develops the power-path
that is heart-serenity-connected-exertion-own-making,

develops the power-path
that is investigation-serenity-connected-exertion-own-making.

These then, beggars
are the four onward-leading Aristocratic power-paths
which developed,
made a big thing of,
lead on the practitioner thereof
to the consummate destruction of pain."
