Dhammapada 95 [Khuddaka Nikaya]

7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
6 - Sariputtatthera Vatthu
Pathavisamo no virujjhati, indakhilupamo tadi subbato;
rahadova apetakaddamo, samsara na bhavanti tadino.
95: Like the earth, the arahat is patient and is not provoked to respond in anger; like the door-post he is firm; he is unperturbed by the ups and downs of life; he is serene and pure like a lake free from mud. For such an arahat there will be no more rebirth.

Dhammapada 92 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
3 - Belatthasisatthera Vatthu

akaseva sakuntnam, gati tesam durannaya.
92: Arahats do not hoard (anything); when taking food they reflect well over it (i.e., in accordance with the three parinnas). They have as their object liberation from existence, that is, Nibbana which is Void and Signless. Their destination, like the course of birds in the air, cannot be traced.
