Dhammapada · 26.25

Yassa rāgo ca doso ca, māno makkho ca pātito;Sāsaporiva āraggā, tamahaṃ brūmi brāhmaṇaṃ.

Yassa rago ca doso ca, mano makkho ca patito; Sasaporiva aragga, tamaham brumi brahmanam.

He from whom lust, hatred, conceit, and contempt have fallen away like a mustard seed from the point of a needle — him I call a brahmin.
