Kodhaṃ chetvā sukhaṃ seti,

kodhaṃ chetvā na socati.

Kodhassa visamūlassa

madhuraggassa brāhmaṇa;

vadhaṃ ariyā pasaṃsanti

tañhi chetvā na socatī.

Listen

Slay anger and you will be happy,

slay anger and you will not sorrow.

For the slaying of anger in all its forms

with its poisoned root and sweet sting —

that is the slaying the nobles praise;

with anger slain one weeps no more.

Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.187
