18.2.239

‘‘Anupubbena medhāvī, thokaṃ thokaṃ khaṇe khaṇe;
Kammāro rajatasseva, niddhame malamattano’’ti.

239. One after another, little by little, time after time, a wise man
Should blow away his own impurities, even as a smith blows away the impurities of silver.

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
