DHAMMAPADA XIX, 3

Syair 258

Seseorang tidak dikenal bijaksana karena semata-mata ia banyak bicara. Tetapi, orang yang damai, tanpa rasa benci dan tanpa rasa takut sesungguhnya yang dapat disebut orang bijaksana.

Sawijining wong kang katelah wicaksana iku ora marga anggone mung pinter omong, nanging, wong kang ora duwe rasa gething, ora dhemen memungsuhan, ora duwe rasa was-sumelang; iku kang sinebut wong wicaksana.

A man is not learned because he talks much; he who is patient, free from hatred and fear, he is called learned.

na tena pandito hoti

yvat bahu bhsati

khem aver abhayo

pandito ti pavuccati
