Dhammapada – Pushpa Wagga

යථා පි රුචිරං පුප්ඵං
වණ්ණවන්තං අගන්ධකං
ඒවං සුභාසිතා වාචා
අඵලා හොති අකුබ්බතො

Meaning: As a flower that is lovely and beautiful but without fragrance, even so is the well-spoken word fruitless if not practiced.

Arahanta Vagga – The Worthy

ගතදධිනො විසොකසස
විපපමුතතසස සබබධි
සබබගනථපපහීනසස
පරිළාහො න විජජති

Meaning: For one who has ended the journey, is sorrowless, and fully freed, the fever of passion exists no more.
