Dhammapada 107

Language

107

Yo ca vassasataṃ jantu,
aggiṃ paricare vane;
Ekañca bhāvitattānaṃ,
muhuttamapi pūjaye;
Sāyeva pūjanā seyyo,
yañce vassasataṃ hutaṃ.

If a man for a hundred years worship Agni (fire) in the forest, and if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul is grounded (in true knowledge), better is that homage than sacrifice for a hundred years.

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