Dhammapada 68 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


5 - Balavagga, The Fool
9 - Sumanamalakara Vatthu
Tanca kammam katam sadhu,
yam katva nanutappati;

yassa patito sumano,
vipikam patisevati.

68: That deed is well done if one has not to repent for having done it, and if one is delightful and happy with the result of that deed.
