Dhammapada · 20.1

Maggānaṭṭhaṅgiko seṭṭho, saccānaṃ caturo padā;Virāgo seṭṭho dhammānaṃ, dvipadānañca cakkhumā.

Magganatthangiko settho, saccanam caturo pada; Virago settho dhammanam, dvipadananca cakkhuma.

Of paths, the Eightfold is best. Of truths, the Four. Of states, dispassion is best. Of two-footed beings, the One with Vision — the Buddha.
