Dhammapada

	DHAMMAPADA XXV, 18
	Syair 377

Seperti tanaman Vassika (bunga melati yang merambat) menggugurkan bunga-bunganya sendiri yang layu kering, begitu pula hendaknya engkau O bhikkhu, membuang nafsu dan kebencianmu.

Kayadene tuwuhan "Vassika" (saemper kembang mlati kang mrambat) nggrogake kembange dhewe kang wis alum sarta garing, mangkono uga sayogyane sira O, wiku, mbuwang napsu sarta gegething.

As the Vassikâ plant sheds its withered flowers, men should shed passion and hatred, O ye Bhikshus!

vassik viya pupphni

maddavni pamuñcati

eva rgañ dosañ ca

vippamuñcetha bhikkhavo
