Dhammapada · 20.15

Taṃ puttapasusammattaṃ, byāsattamanasaṃ naraṃ;Suttaṃ gāmaṃ mahoghova, maccu ādāya gacchati.

Tam puttapasusammattam, byasattamanasam naram; Suttam gamam mahoghova, maccu adaya gacchati.

The man whose mind is intoxicated with sons and cattle, who is entangled in attachments — death sweeps him away, as a great flood sweeps away a sleeping village.
