Dhammapada 144

- **Language:** Pāli

### [144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.144)

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

> Like a well-trained horse when touched by  
> \[142. As to dandanidhâna, see Mahâbh. XII, 6559, and Sutta-nipâta, v. 34.  
> 143, 144. I am very doubtful as to the real meaning of these verses. If their object is to show how reproof or punishment should be borne, my translation would be right, though alpabodhati in the sense of parvi facere is strange.\] the whip, be ye active and lively, and by faith, by virtue, by energy, by meditation, by discernment of the law you will overcome this great pain (of reproof), perfect in knowledge and in behaviour, and never forgetful.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
