Dhammapada 93 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
4 - Anuruddhatthera Vatthu

Yassasa va parikkhina, ahare ca anissito;
sunnato animitto ca, vimokkho yassa gocaro;
akaseva sakuntanam, padam tassa durannayam.
93: The arahat is free from moral intoxicants (asavas); he is not attached to food. He has as his object liberation from existence, i.e., Nibbana which is Void and Signless. His path, like that of birds in the air, cannot be traced.
