Dhammapada · 14.14

Etaṃ kho saraṇaṃ khemaṃ, etaṃ saraṇamuttamaṃ;Etaṃ saraṇamāgamma, sabbadukkhā pamuccati.

Etam kho saranam khemam, etam saranamuttamam; Etam saranamagamma, sabbadukkha pamuccati.

This is the safe refuge, this is the supreme refuge. By going to this refuge, one is freed from all suffering.
