# Verses on Dhamma 87

Dhammapada 87

- **Language:** Pāli

### [87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.87)

Kaṇhaṃ dhammaṃ vippahāya,  
Sukkaṃ bhāvetha paṇḍito;  
Okā anokamāgamma,  
Viveke yattha dūramaṃ.

> , 88. A wise man should leave the dark state (of ordinary life), and follow the bright state (of the Bhikshu). After going from his home to a homeless state, he should in his retirement look for enjoyment where there seemed to be no enjoyment. Leaving all pleasures behind, and calling nothing his own, the wise man should purge himself from all the troubles of the mind.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
