Dhammapada · 2.2

Etaṃ visesato ñatvā, appamādamhi paṇḍitā;Appamāde pamodanti, ariyānaṃ gocare ratā.

etam visesato natva, appamadamhi pandita; appamade pamodanti, ariyanam gocare rata.

Knowing this distinction clearly, the wise delight in heedfulness; they rejoice in heedfulness, delighting in the pasture of the Noble Ones.
