Dhammapada · 16.10

Chandajāto anakkhāte, manasā ca phuṭo siyā;Kāmesu ca appaṭibaddhacitto, uddhaṃsototi vuccati.

Chandajato anakkhate, manasa ca phuto siya; Kamesu ca appatibaddhacitto, uddhamsototi vuccati.

One in whom the desire for the Inexpressible has arisen, whose mind is touched by it, whose mind is not bound to sense-pleasures — that one is called Upstream-bound.
