Dhammapada · Verse 347

Khemātherīvatthu

Pali

Ye rāgarattānupatanti sotaṁ,
Sayaṅkataṁ makkaṭakova jālaṁ;
Etampi chetvāna vajanti dhīrā,
Anapekkhino sabbadukkhaṁ pahāya.

English

Besotted by lust they fall into the stream,
like a spider caught in the web she wove.
The attentive proceed, having cut this one too,
unconcerned, having given up all suffering.
