### [346](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.346)

Etaṃ daḷhaṃ bandhanamāhu dhīrā,  
Ohārinaṃ sithilaṃ duppamuñcaṃ;  
Etampi chetvāna paribbajanti,  
Anapekkhino kāmasukhaṃ pahāya.

> That fetter wise people call strong which drags down, yields, but is difficult to undo; after having cut this at last, people leave the world, free from cares, and leaving desires and pleasures behind.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
