Dhammapada · 13.5

Etha passathimaṃ lokaṃ, cittaṃ rājarathūpamaṃ;Yattha bālā visīdanti, natthi saṅgo vijānataṃ.

Etha passathimam lokam, cittam rajarathupamam; Yattha bala visidanti, natthi sango vijanatam.

Come, behold this world like a painted royal chariot — in which fools sink. For the discerning, there is no clinging.
