Sukhā virāgatā loke,
Kāmānaṃ samatikkamo;
Asmimānassa yo vinayo --
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.
Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am --
That is truly the supreme bliss.
Udāna 2.11
The Udāna and the Itivuttaka,
trans. John D. Ireland
