DHAMMAPADA XXVI, 10

Syair 392

Seseorang mengenal Dhamma yangtelah dibabarkan oleh Samma SAmbuddha melalui orang lain, hendaklah ia menghormati orang trsebut, seperti seorang Brahmana[*] menghormati api pemujaannya.

[*] Dalam arti yang berlaku dalam masyarakat itu.

Menawa ana sawijining wong kang tepung Dhamma kang kababarake dening Samma Sambuddha, lumantar saka liyan, sayogyane dheweke asung pahurmatan marang wong mau, kayadene sawijining Brahmana kang hormat marang geni prapene.

He from whom he may learn the Dharma, as taught by the Well-awakened (Buddha), him let him worship assiduously, as the Brahmana worships the sacrificial fire.
