Dhammapada 48 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
4 - Patipujikakumari Vatthu

Pupphani heva pacinantam, bysssasattamanasam naram;
atittanneva kamesu, antako kurute vasam.
48: Like one who picks and chooses flowers, a man who has his mind attached to sensual pleasures and is insatiate in them is over powered by Death.
Mya Tin, Daw, tr. The Dhammapada: Verses and Stories. Rangoon: Burma Tipitaka Association, 1986.
