Dhammapada · 24.10

Tasiṇāya purakkhatā pajā, parisappanti saso va bādhito;Tasmā tasiṇaṃ vinodaye, bhikkhu ākaṅkha virāgamattano.

Tasinaya purakkhata paja, parisappanti saso va badhito; Tasma tasinam vinodaye, bhikkhu akankha viragamattano.

Beings led on by thirst crawl about like a hunted hare. Therefore the monk, desiring dispassion for himself, should dispel that thirst.
