Dhammapada · 26.20

Yo dukkhassa pajānāti, idheva khayamattano;Pannabhāraṃ visaṃyuttaṃ, tamahaṃ brūmi brāhmaṇaṃ.

Yo dukkhassa pajanati, idheva khayamattano; Pannabharam visamyuttam, tamaham brumi brahmanam.

He who knows right here the destruction of his own suffering, who has laid down the burden and is unbound — him I call a brahmin.

— Dhammapada 26.20
