DHAMMAPADA XXVI, 6

Syair 388

Karena telah membuang kejahatan, maka dia kusebut seorang Brahmana; karena tingkah lakunya tenang, maka dia kusebut seorang pertapa (Samana); dan karena dia telah melenyapkan noda-noda batin, maka dia kusebut Pabbajita (orang yang telah meninggalkan kehidupan rumah tangga).

Karana wis nyingkirake piala dheweke sinebut Brahmana; karana urip ing sajrone katentreman dheweke sinebut Samana (wong kang mara tapa/sutapa); karana wis nyingkirake lelethek-leletheking batine, dheweke katelah Pabajita (wong kang wis ninggalake panguripan sesomahan).

Because a man is rid of evil, therefore he is called Brâhmana; because he walks quietly, therefore he is called Samana; because he has sent away his own impurities, therefore he is called Pravragita (Pabbagita, a pilgrim).
