Yassindriyāni samathaṅgatāni, assā yathā sārathinā sudantā;Pahīnamānassa anāsavassa, devāpi tassa pihayanti tādino.

Yassindriyani samathangatani, assa yatha sarathina sudanta; Pahinamanassa anasavassa, devapi tassa pihayanti tadino.

One whose senses are calmed like horses well-tamed by a charioteer, who has abandoned conceit and is free from taints — even the gods envy such a one.
