Dhammapada · 6.13

Tatrābhiratimiccheyya, hitvā kāme akiñcano;Pariyodapeyya attānaṃ, cittaklesehi paṇḍito.

Tatrabhiratimiccheyya, hitva kame akincano; Pariyodapeyya attanam, cittaklesehi pandito.

Let the wise one seek delight there, having abandoned sense-pleasures and owning nothing. Let them purify themselves of the defilements of mind.

— Dhammapada 6.13
