Dhammapada 54

- **Language:** Pāli

### [54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.54)

Na pupphagandho paṭivātameti,  
Na candanaṃ tagaramallikā vā;  
Satañca gandho paṭivātameti,  
Sabbā disā sappuriso pavāyati.

> The scent of flowers does not travel against the wind, nor (that of) sandal-wood, or of Tagara and Mallikâ flowers; but the odour of good people travels even against the wind; a good man pervades every place.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
