Verse 260:
He is not an 'Elder' just because his hair is grey;
he who is ripe only in years is called
"one grown old in vain."
Verse 261:
Only a wise man who comprehends the Four Noble Truths and the Dhamma,
who is harmless and virtuous,
who restrains his senses and
has rid himself of moral defilements
is indeed called an 'Elder'.
