10.10.144

‘‘Asso yathā bhadro kasāniviṭṭho,
Ātāpino saṃvegino bhavātha;
Saddhāya sīlena ca vīriyena ca,
Samādhinā dhammavinicchayena ca;
Sampannavijjācaraṇā patissatā,
Jahissatha dukkhamidaṃ anappaka’’nti.

144. Even as a well-bred horse touched by the whip, so be ye ardent and active.
By faith, by virtue, by resolution, by meditation, by understanding of the Law,
Possessing perfect knowledge and behavior, thoughtful, you will rid yourselves
of this great suffering.
