Dhammapada, Dhamma Verses (KN 2)

7: The Chapter about the Arahats – 49
Assaddho akataññū ca sandhicchedo ca yo naro,
The person who is beyond (mere) faith, 1 who knows that which is unmade, 2 who has cut
off (rebirth-)linking, 3
hatāvakāso vantāso, sa ve uttamaporiso. [97]
who has destroyed the occasion, 4 who has thrown out hope and desire, 5 is surely the
person supreme.
Gāme vā yadi vāraññe, ninne vā yadi vā thale,
Whether in the village or wilds, whether on low or on high ground,
yatthar a hanto viharanti, taṁ bhūmiṁ rāmaṇeyyakaṁ. [98]
wherever the Arahats live, 6 that ground is (surely) delightful.
Ramaṇīyāni araññāni yattha na ramatī jano,
The delightful wildernesses where the people do not delight,
vītarāgā ramissanti, na te kāmagavesino. [99]
those without passion will take delight, (but) not those who seek sense pleasures.
