Dhammapada · 18.11

Hirīmatā ca dujjīvaṃ, niccaṃ sucigavesinā;Alīnenāpagabbhena, suddhājīvena passatā.

Hirimata ca dujjivam, niccam sucigavesina; Alinenapagabbhena, suddhajivena passata.

But life is hard for the modest one — ever seeking purity, unattached, unimpudent, of clean livelihood, the seer.
