DHAMMAPADA XXI, 15

Syair 304

Meskipun dari jauh, orang baik akan terlihat bersinar bagaikan puncak pegunungan Himalaya. Tetapi meskipun dekat, orang jahat tidak akan terlihat, bagaikan anak panah dilepaskan di malam hari.

Sanajan saka kadohan, wong becik bakal katon sumunar, kayadene pucaking gunung Himalaya. Ananging sanajan cedhak, wong kang candhala ing budi ora bakal kihurmatan, kayadene pasere panah kang linepasake ing wanci wengi.

Good people shine from afar, like the snowy mountains; bad people are not seen, like arrows shot by night.
