Dhammapada 91 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
2 - Mahakassapatthera Vatthu
Uyyunjanti satimanto, na nikete ramanti te;
hamsava pallalam hitva, okamokam jahanti te.
91: The mindful strive diligently (in the Tranquillity and 
Insight Development Practice); they take no delight in the 
home (i.e., in the life of sensual pleasures); like swans 
(hamsa) that forsake the muddy pool, they abandon all 
home life (i.e., all cravings).
