Fruits of the noble path
In Buddhism, the fruits of the noble path (Sanskrit: āryamārgaphala, Pali: ariyamaggaphala; Tibetan: ’phags lam gyi ’bras bu; Chinese: shengdaoguo 聖道果) are four stages on the path to full awakening (bodhi).

These four fruits or states are Sotāpanna (stream-enterer), Sakadāgāmi (once-returner), Anāgāmi (non-returner), and Arahant (conqueror, "worthy one"). The early Buddhist texts portray the Buddha as referring to people who are at one of these four states as "noble ones" (ārya, Pāli: ariya) and the community of such persons as the noble sangha.

The teaching of the four stages of awakening was important to the early Buddhist schools and remains so in the Theravada school. It is also included in the Mahayana teachings on the various paths to awakening. However, their teaching on the bodhisattva path relies on different stages of awakening, called bodhisattva stages, which are taught as an alternative path.

Arya (Buddhism)
Arya (Sanskrit: आर्य pronounced ārya; Pāli: ariya) is a term used in Buddhism that can be translated as 'noble', 'not ordinary', 'valuable', 'precious', 'pure', 'rich'. Arya in the sense of 'noble' or 'exalted' is frequently used in Buddhist texts to designate a spiritual warrior or hero.

Ascapart (also spelled Ascupart, Ascapard, Ascopard, Ascopart and Asgapard) was a legendary giant from English folklore, supposedly conquered by Bevis of Hampton, though so huge as to carry Bevis, his wife, and horse under his arm.

In other words, a microtone may be thought of as a note that falls "between the keys" of a piano tuned in equal temperament.
