DHAMMAPADA XXVI, 17

Syair 399

Ia yang sabar menahan hinaan, penganiayaan dan hukuman, ia yang memiliki kekuatan senjata kesabaran, patut kusebut seorang Brahmana.

Dheweke patut Sun sebut Brahmana; yaiku kang sarana sabar ngadhepi pitenahan, tindak pa-nganiaya sarta paukuman sanajan dheweke ora luput, sabar lan tatag ngadhepi sakabehe lelakon mau.

Him I call indeed a Brâhmana who, though he has committed no offence, endures reproach, stripes, and bonds, who has endurance for his force, and strength for his army.
