Language

264

Na muṇḍakena samaṇo,
abbato alikaṃ bhaṇaṃ;
Icchālobhasamāpanno,
samaṇo kiṃ bhavissati.

Not by tonsure does an undisciplined man who speaks falsehood become a Samana; can a man be a Samana who is still held captive by desire and greediness?

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