Ye rāgarattānupatanti sotaṃ,
Sayaṅkataṃ makkaṭakova jālaṃ;
Etampi chetvāna vajanti dhīrā,
Anapekkhino sabbadukkhaṃ pahāya.

Those who are slaves to passions, run down with the stream (of desires), as a spider runs down the web which he has made himself; when they have cut this, at last, wise people leave the world free from cares, leaving all affection behind.

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