Sukhaṃ yāva jarā sīlaṃ,
sukhā saddhā patiṭṭhitā;
Sukho paññāya paṭilābho,
pāpānaṃ akaraṇaṃ sukhaṃ.

Pleasant is virtue lasting to old age, pleasant is a faith firmly rooted; pleasant is attainment of intelligence, pleasant is avoiding of sins.
[332. The commentator throughout takes these words, like matteyyatâ, &c., to signify, not the status of a mother, or maternity, but reverence shown to a mother.]

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