Dhammapada 56 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
10 - Mahakassapatthera Vatthu

Appamatto ayam gandho, yayam tagaracandani;
yo ca silavatam gandho, vati devesu uttamo.
56: The scents of rhododendron and of sandal wood are very faint; but the scent (reputation) of the virtuous is the strongest; it spreads even to the abodes of the deva.
