Dhammapada · 3.7

Anavassutacittassa, ananvāhatacetaso;Puññapāpapahīnassa, natthi jāgarato bhayaṃ.

anavassuta-cittassa, ananvahata-cetaso; punna-papa-pahinassa, natthi jagarato bhayam.

For one whose mind is not soaked in lust, whose heart is not battered by hatred, who has abandoned good-and-evil — for the wakeful one, there is no fear.

— Dhammapada 3.7
