     සුඛො විවෙකො තුට‍්ඨස‍්ස සුතධම‍්මස‍්ස පස‍්සතො
     අබ්‍යාපජ‍්ජං සුඛං ලොකෙ පාණභූතෙසු සංයමො.

     sukho viveko tuṭṭhassa sutadhammassa passato
     abyāpajjaṃ sukhaṃ loke pāṇabhūtesu saṃyamo.

     Seclusion is happiness for the contented
     who see the teaching they have learned.
     Kindness for the world is happiness
     for one who’d not harm a living creature.
