Anekajātisaṃsāraṃ
sandhāvissaṃ anibbisaṃ
gahakāraṃ gavesanto
dukkhā jāti punappunaṃ
Gahakāraka diṭṭho'si
puna gehaṃ na kāhasi
sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā
gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ
visaṅkhāragataṃ cittaṃ
taṇhānaṃ khayamajjhagā
(The Dhammapada, verses 153-154)
(Vandāmi cetiyaṃ sabbaṃ, sabbaṭṭhānesu patiṭṭhitaṃ. Ye ca dantā atītā ca, ye ca dantā anāgatā, paccuppannā ca ye dantā, sabbe vandāmi te ahaṃ.)
