Dhammapada · 7.9

Gāme vā yadi vāraññe, ninne vā yadi vā thale;Yattha arahanto viharanti, taṃ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakaṃ.

Game va yadi varanne, ninne va yadi va thale; Yattha arahanto viharanti, tam bhumiramaneyyakam.

Whether in village or forest, in valley or on plateau — wherever arahants dwell, that ground is delightful.

— Dhammapada 7.9
