Yathā saṅkāradhānasmiṃ,
ujjhitasmiṃ mahāpathe;
Padumaṃ tattha jāyetha,
sucigandhaṃ manoramaṃ.

, 59. As on a heap of rubbish cast upon the highway the lily will grow full of sweet perfume and delight, thus the disciple of the truly enlightened Buddha shines forth by his knowledge among those who are like rubbish, among the people that walk in darkness.
[58, 59. Cf. Beal, Dhammapada, p. 76.]
