Dhammapada · 25.5

Dhammārāmo dhammarato, dhammaṃ anuvicintayaṃ;Dhammaṃ anussaraṃ bhikkhu, saddhammā na parihāyati.

Dhammaramo dhammarato, dhammam anuvicintayam; Dhammam anussaram bhikkhu, saddhamma na parihayati.

The bhikkhu who delights in Dhamma, rejoices in Dhamma, ponders Dhamma, recalls Dhamma — does not fall away from the true Dhamma.

— Dhammapada 25.5
