Dhammapada

	DHAMMAPADA XXVI, 16
	Syair 398

Ia yang memotong sabuk kebencian, tali kulit nafsu keinginan, tali rami pandangan keliru dan semua kekotoran batin laten (anusaya), yang telah menyingkirkan palang kebodohan dan menyadari kebenaran, patut kusebut seorang Brahmana.

Dheweke patut Sun sebut Brahmana; yaiku kang wis medhoti sabuk'ing rasa gething, tali-kuliting napsu pepenginan sarta tali-ramining wawasan kliru lan reresik kabeh sesukering batin. Mangkono uga menawa dheweke wis nyingkirake kayu pepalang (kebodohan) lan mangerti marang bebener.

Him I call indeed a Brâhmana who after cutting the strap and the thong, the rope with all that pertains to it, has destroyed all obstacles, and is awakened.
