Dhammapada · 26.32

Yo imaṃ palipathaṃ duggaṃ, saṃsāraṃ mohamaccagā;Tiṇṇo pāragato jhāyī, anejo akathaṃkathī;Anupādāya nibbuto, tamahaṃ brūmi brāhmaṇaṃ.

Yo imam palipatham duggam, samsaram mohamaccaga; Tinno paragato jhayi, anejo akathamkathi; Anupadaya nibbuto, tamaham brumi brahmanam.

He who has transcended this difficult-to-cross, perilous path of saṃsāra and delusion, who has crossed over, gone to the further shore, meditative, unshaken, free from doubt, attaining Nibbāna without grasping — him I call a brahmin.
