Udanavarga 4.39

4.39

「利勝不足恃，雖勝猶復苦，
當自求勝法，已勝無所生。」

“Rely not too entirely on the advantage of victory (conquest), for though you may prevail in battle, yet there is still sorrow in store; rather should a man seek the rules of self-conquest, having conquered himself, then there will be no further ground for birth (or, continued life).”
