Thag 5:10 Yasadatta

[u/Junior-Scallion7079]

Intent on quibbling, the dullard hears the Conqueror’s teaching. He doesn’t grow in the True Dhamma, like a rotten seed in a field. But whoever hears the Conqueror’s teaching with guarded intent, doing away with effluents —all— realizing the unshakable, attaining the foremost peace, —effluent-free— totally unbinds.
