Atma just came across a Sutta, Nandiyasuttaṁ, in AN 11.2 Anussativaggo, where the Buddha instead of the common patter, replaced reflecting on the Sangha with, reflecting on ones good friend. The fact that also Sīlānussati is missing here, might point to a circumstance that Nandiya was not familar with the Dhamma at this time, say still follower of other sects.

It's in any case, if knowing of what a admirable friend is, to reflect on ones blessing to have such, of which is rare.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

...Again, Nandiya you should recollect your spiritual friends. It is great gain for me that my spiritual friends advise and incite me out of compassion. Nandiya, then you should internally establish the sign of the spiritual friends in your mind...
