Dhammapada · 1.16

Idha modati pecca modati, katapuñño ubhayattha modati;So modati so pamodati, disvā kammavisuddhimattano.

Idha modati pecca modati, katapunno ubhayattha modati; So modati so pamodati, disva kammavisuddhimattano.

The doer of good rejoices here and rejoices hereafter; in both worlds he rejoices. He rejoices and is exceedingly glad, seeing the purity of his own deeds.
