### [210](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.210)

Mā piyehi samāgañchi,  
appiyehi kudācanaṃ;  
Piyānaṃ adassanaṃ dukkhaṃ,  
appiyānañca dassanaṃ.

> Let no man ever look for what is pleasant, or what is unpleasant. Not to see what is pleasant is pain, and it is pain to see what is unpleasant.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
