   • c. 50 BC, The Buddha, Dhammapada(pāḷi), Appamādavaɡɡa, page 32; republished in The Eighteenth Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Khuddaka-Nikāya‎^[1], Colombo, 2009:

     8. When the astute dispel negligence by means of diligence, 28
     having ascended the palace of wisdom, the sorrow-free behold this generation of sorrow,
     as a wise man on a mountain-top beholds the fools below.

     (literally, “8. When the astute dispel negligence by means of diligence, 28
     having ascended the palace of wisdom, the sorrow-free behold this generation of sorrow,
     as a wise man on a mountain-top beholds the fools on the ground.”)
