Dhammapada 96 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
7 - Kosambivasitissattherasamanera Vatthu

Santam tassa manam hoti, santa vaca ca kamma ca;
sammadanna vimuttassa, upasantassa tadino.
96: An arahat is calm in his mind, calm in his speech, and also in his deed; truly knowing the Dhamma, such an arahat is free from moral defilements and is unpurturbed by the ups and downs of life.
