Dhammapada · 7.6

Pathavisamo no virujjhati, indakhilūpamo tādi subbato;Rahadova apetakaddamo, saṃsārā na bhavanti tādino.

Pathavisamo no virujjhati, indakhilupamo tadi subbato; Rahadova apetakaddamo, samsara na bhavanti tadino.

Like the earth he is not provoked; like Indra's pillar he is firm and well-vowed; like a pool cleared of mud — for such a one no more wanderings.

— Dhammapada 7.6
