> , 272. Not only by discipline and vows, not only by much learning, not by entering into a trance, not by sleeping alone, do I earn the happiness of release which no worldling can know. Bhikshu, be not confident as long as thou hast not attained the extinction of desires.  
> \[272. See Childers, Notes, p. 7.\]  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
