Dhammapada · 7.8

Assaddho akataññū ca, sandhicchedo ca yo naro;Hatāvakāso vantāso, sa ve uttamaporiso.

Assaddho akatannu ca, sandhicchedo ca yo naro; Hatavakaso vantaso, sa ve uttamaporiso.

One who is beyond credulity, who knows the unmade, who has cut all links, destroyed all occasion for new karma, and vomited out all hope — that one is supreme among persons.

— Dhammapada 7.8
