Na taṃ daḷhaṃ bandhanamāhu dhīrā,
Yadāyasaṃ dārujapabbajañca;
Sārattarattā maṇikuṇḍalesu,
Puttesu dāresu ca yā apekkhā.

Wise people do not call that a strong fetter which is made of iron, wood, or hemp; far stronger is the care for precious stones and rings, for sons and a wife.

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