In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Noble, ideal. Also, a "Noble One"1. Ariya - A country and people in South India. Palandipa was one of its divisions. It once had a king named Viradeva who led an expedition against Jayabahu I. of Ceylon (Cv.lxi.36f).
It was also the name of a dynasty, the Aryan dynasty of the Pandya (Pandu) in South India. Cv.lxiii.15; see also Cv. trans. i.239, n.1.
2. Ariya - A fisherman of a settlement near the north gate of Savatthi. The Buddha, seeing his upanissaya for sotapatti, passed with the congregation of monks close by the spot where he was fishing and stopped not far from him. Then the Buddha proceeded to ask the monks their names, and noticing that the fisherman himself expected to be questioned, he asked him his. On learning that it was Ariya, the Buddha suggested to him that he was unworthy of the name, because a real Ariya never injured any living thing. At the end of the discourse the fisherman became a sotapanna. DhA.iii.396-8.
3. Ariya - A Pacceka Buddha mentioned in the list of the Isigili Sutta. M.iii.70; also ApA.i.107.
4. The four iddhi padas, if cultivated, conduce to the utter destruction of Ill. They are ariyaniyyanika. S.v.255.
T (Noble being). A being who has experienced nibbana. With this, he has eliminated the wrong views (existence of a self inherent entity, efficacy of rituals, etc.), and has acquired an immovable confidence towards the dhamma. He is assured of no more rebirths in the lower realms.
According to the experienced stage, four kinds of ariyas are being considered (sotapana, sakadagami, anagami and arahanta).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Ariyā or Ariyā-iddhi refers to “noble magic” and represents a type of Iddhi (magical process) which is related to the Sanskrit Ṛddyabhijñā: one of the six “superknowledges” (abhijñā), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XLIII. Ariyā-iddhi is “noble magic”, permitting the seeing of pleasant things as unpleasant and vice versa. This was already discussed by the canonical sūtras (Dīgha, III, p. 112–113, etc.).
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
India history and geography
Ariya (“noble”) is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Kurubas (a tribe of South India). The Kurubas are sub-divided into clans or gumpus, each having a headman or guru called a gaudu, who gives his name to the clan. And the clans are again sub-divided into gotras or septs (viz., Ariya).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

When the commentators, many centuries afterwards, began to write Pali in S. India & Ceylon, far from the ancient seat of the Aryan clans, the racial sense of the word ariya was scarcely, if at all, present to their minds. Dhammapāla especially was probably a non-Aryan, and certainly lived in a Dravidian environment. The then current similar popular etmologies of ariya and arahant (cp. next article) also assisted the confusion in their minds. They sometimes therefore erroneously identify the two words and explain Aryans as meaning Arahants (DhA. I, 230; SnA 537; PvA. 60). In other ways also they misrepresented the old texts by ignoring the racial force of the word. Thus at J. V, 48 the text, speaking of a hunter belonging to one of the aboriginal tribes, calls him anariya-rūpa. The C. explains this as “shameless”, but what the text has, is simply that he looked like a non-Aryan. (cp “frank” in English). (Page 77)

Ma, Dhi, 1.196). The Ariya-Assembly that corresponds to Ariya, in accordance with the wisdom of Nirodha. (Thusi, 39). (2) Aya+Iriya+A. This should be performed according to the method of Nirodha. (Ma, Dhi, 1.62. Than, Dhi, 2.202-3. Mula Dhi, 1.162). Refer to the rules of Parajika and the new methodology, 1.34. (3) Ariya+Hana+Kwi. The factors of Ariya are described as follows. (Dhamma, Dhi. 435). (4) Ari+Na. Ariya is defined as a dignified action that does not deviate, hence, Ariya is understood in profound discussions and states of well-being. (Dhamma, Dhi. 435). The Ariya-concept is articulated with clarity. (Dhamma, Dhi. 693-6). (1) (a) Without faults - Faultless - Good. (b) Free from impurities - Pure - Elevated. (c) Those who wish for Nibbana are to attain it - Being rightly informed. (d) Correct - Without flaws or discrepancies. (e) Not subject to decay or destruction by its true nature. (f) Capable of teaching beings ethical behavior - That is capable of venerating. (p) (2) An ideal state of being (Ariya person). (a) Detached from the entanglement of experiential phenomena; someone who promotes progress and harmony through positive influences and sanctity can be considered an ideal being - Pure and clean - the person of virtue. (b) A person with good conduct - an ethical individual - the person of Ariya. (There are four types of Ariya individuals such as Ariya of virtue, Ariya of knowledge, Ariya by gender, Ariya of principle; among those four types, a person who embodies virtue can be of the Ariya class - either human or animal). In terms of appearance and adaptation, individuals deserving admiration are of the Dhamma class. A person in monk's robes can still be devoid of ethical conduct, and therefore may be considered of the gender class. A supreme spiritual teacher, the Blessed Buddha, exists among the followers of the Dhamma and is classified as the principal embodiment of virtue. Individuals classified in the Ariya-Loka should be considered as well. (3) Beings. (4) Master. (5) Authority. (6) Divinity of wealth, the affluent. (7) Noble. (8) Divine realm. Look also into Ariya consciousness and principles. Compare among the three types of Ariya. Examine the distinctions of Ariya. Observations of the Ariya types should also be acknowledged. Observe the classifications of Ariya.
