Dhammapada · 19.17

Phusāmi nekkhammasukhaṃ, aputhujjanasevitaṃ;Bhikkhu vissāsamāpādi, appatto āsavakkhayaṃ.

Phusami nekkhammasukham, aputhujjanasevitam; Bhikkhu vissasamapadi, appatto asavakkhayam.

— '(saying) I touch the bliss of renunciation not enjoyed by ordinary folk' — let no monk grow confident, having not destroyed the taints.

— Dhammapada 19.17
