Dhammapada · 26.2

Yadā dvayesu dhammesu, pāragū hoti brāhmaṇo;Atha 'ssa sabbe saṃyogā, atthaṃ gacchanti jānato.

Yada dvayesu dhammesu, paragu hoti brahmano; Atha 'ssa sabbe samyoga, attham gacchanti janato.

When the brahmin has gone beyond two things — calm and insight — then for him, the knower, all bonds fall away.

— Dhammapada 26.2
