Khīṇaṃ purāṇaṃ nava

natthi sambhavaṃ,

virattacittāyatike bhavasmiṃ.

Te khīṇabījā, avirūḷhichandā.

Nibbanti dhīrā yathāyaṃ padīpo.

Listen

When past conditioning is released

and no fresh one produced,

the mind no longer seeks for future birth.

The seed consumed, cravings no more arise.

Such-minded wise ones cease like [the flame of] this lamp.

Sutta Nipāta 2.238
