Dhammapada Verse 12.9

Sanskrit Verse

आत्मनैव कृतं पापं आत्मना संक्लिश्यति । आत्मनाऽकृतं पापं आत्मनैव विशुध्यति । शुद्धयशुद्धी प्रत्त्यात्मं नाऽन्योऽन्यं विशोधयेत् ॥ ९॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

By oneself is evil done, by oneself is one defiled. By oneself is evil left undone, by oneself is one purified. Purity and impurity depend on oneself—no one can purify another. 9
