Dhammapada · 18.4

So karohi dīpamattano, khippaṃ vāyama paṇḍito bhava;Niddhantamalo anaṅgaṇo, na punaṃ jātijaraṃ upehisi.

So karohi dipamattano, khippam vayama pandito bhava; Niddhantamalo anangano, na punam jatijaram upehisi.

Therefore make a lamp of yourself; quickly strive and become wise. With taints expelled and stains gone, you shall no longer come to birth and old age.
