Dhammapada · 25.16

Tatrāyamādi bhavati, idha paññassa bhikkhuno;Indriyagutti santuṭṭhī, pātimokkhe ca saṃvaro.

Tatrayamadi bhavati, idha pannassa bhikkhuno; Indriyagutti santutthi, patimokkhe ca samvaro.

This is the beginning here for the wise bhikkhu: guarding of the senses, contentment, and restraint in the patimokkha (the monastic code).
