Dhammapada · 18.2

So karohi dīpamattano, khippaṃ vāyama paṇḍito bhava;Niddhantamalo anaṅgaṇo, dibbaṃ ariyabhūmiṃ ehisi.

So karohi dipamattano, khippam vayama pandito bhava; Niddhantamalo anangano, dibbam ariyabhumim ehisi.

Therefore make a lamp of yourself; quickly strive and become wise. With taints expelled and stains gone, you shall reach the divine plane of the Noble Ones.
