Dhammapada · 7.4

Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā, āhāre ca anissito;Suññato animitto ca, vimokkho yassa gocaro;Ākāseva sakuntānaṃ, padaṃ tassa durannayaṃ.

Yassasava parikkhina, ahare ca anissito; Sunnato animitto ca, vimokkho yassa gocaro; Akaseva sakuntanam, padam tassa durannayam.

One whose taints are destroyed, who clings not to food, whose domain is emptiness and signlessness — even his footprint, like birds in the sky, is hard to trace.

— Dhammapada 7.4
