Dhammapada · 4.1

Ko imaṃ pathaviṃ vicessati, yamalokañca imaṃ sadevakaṃ;Ko dhammapadaṃ sudesitaṃ, kusalo pupphamiva pacessati.

Ko imam pathavim vicessati, yamalokanca imam sadevakam; Ko dhammapadam sudesitam, kusalo pupphamiva pacessati.

Who shall master this earth, and the realm of Yama with its gods? Who shall discern the well-taught path of the Dhamma, as a skillful gardener selects flowers?
