26.7.390

‘‘Na brāhmaṇassetadakiñci seyyo, yadā nisedho manaso piyehi;
Yato yato hiṃsamano nivattati, tato tato sammatimeva dukkha’’nti.

390. It is no small advantage to a Brahman if he restrain his mind from things that
are dear to him;
As fast as the intent to injure declines, so fast indeed does suffering subside.
