Dhammapada · 14.17

Pūjārahe pūjayato, buddhe yadi va sāvake;Papañcasamatikkante, tiṇṇasokapariddave.

Pujarahe pujayato, buddhe yadi va savake; Papancasamatikkante, tinnasokapariddave.

Honoring those worthy of honor — Buddhas or their disciples — who have transcended mental proliferation and crossed beyond sorrow and lamentation.
