394

kin te jaṭāhi dummedha, kin te ajinasāṭiyā, /
abbhantaran te gahanaṃ, bāhiraṃ parimajjasi. //

What is the use of platted hair, O fool! what of the raiment of goat-skins? Within thee there is ravening, but the outside thou makest clean.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
