Dhammapada · 26.33
Yodha kāme pahantvāna, anāgāro paribbaje;Kāmabhavaparikkhīṇaṃ, tamahaṃ brūmi brāhmaṇaṃ.
Yodha kame pahantvana, anagaro paribbaje; Kamabhavaparikkhinam, tamaham brumi brahmanam.
The one who, having abandoned sensual desires here, has gone forth as a homeless wanderer — in whom sensual desire and continued becoming have been destroyed — him I call a brahmin.
