Dhammapada · 17.6

Sadā jāgaramānānaṃ, ahorattānusikkhinaṃ;Nibbānaṃ adhimuttānaṃ, atthaṃ gacchanti āsavā.

Sada jagaramananam, ahorattanusikkhinam; Nibbanam adhimuttanam, attham gacchanti asava.

For the ever-wakeful, training day and night, intent on nibbana — the taints come to destruction.

— Dhammapada 17.6
