Dhammapada · 14.10

Bahuṃ ve saraṇaṃ yanti, pabbatāni vanāni ca;Ārāmarukkhacetyāni, manussā bhayatajjitā.

Bahum ve saranam yanti, pabbatani vanani ca; Aramarukkhacetyani, manussa bhayatajjita.

To many a refuge they go — mountains, forests, groves, sacred trees, shrines — humans threatened by fear.

— Dhammapada 14.10
