Dhammapada · 13.12

Pathabyā ekarajjena, saggassa gamanena vā;Sabbalokādhipaccena, sotāpattiphalaṃ varaṃ.

Pathabya ekarajjena, saggassa gamanena va; Sabbalokadhipaccena, sotapattiphalam varam.

Better than sole sovereignty over the earth, better than going to heaven, better than lordship over all worlds — is the fruit of Stream-Entry.
