DHAMMAPADA XIX, 16

Syair 271

Bukan karena semata-mata sila dan tekad, bukan pula karena banyak belajar atau pun karena telah mencapai perkembangan dalam samadhi, atau juga karena berdiam di tempat yang sepi;

Dudu mung sarana sila lan tekad, uga dudu karana jembar kawruhe, utawa wis nggayuh mekaring semadi, sarta uga dudu karana manggon ing papan kang sepi;

Not only by discipline and vows, not only by much mearning, not by entering into a trance, not by sleeping alone, do I earn the happiness of release which no worldling can know. O Bhikshu, he who has obtained the extinction of desires, has obtained confidence.
