Dhammapada · 6.11
Ye ca kho sammadakkhāte, dhamme dhammānuvattino;Te janā pāramessanti, maccudheyyaṃ suduttaraṃ.
Ye ca kho sammadakkhate, dhamme dhammanuvattino; Te jana paramessanti, maccudheyyam suduttaram.
Those who live according to the well-taught Dhamma will reach the further shore — crossing the realm of death, which is very hard to cross.
