Dhammapada Verse 7.2

Sanskrit Verse

उद्युञ्जते स्मृतिमन्तो न निकेते रमन्ते ते । हंसा इव पल्वलं हित्त्वा ओकमोकं जहति ते ॥ २॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

The mindful ones exert themselves. They are not attached to any home; like swans that abandon the lake, they leave home after home behind.
