   • c. 50 BC, The Buddha, Dhammapada(pāḷi), Yamakavagga, page 26; republished in The Eighteenth Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Khuddaka-Nikāya‎^[2], Colombo, 2009:

     3. අක‍්කොච‍්ඡි මං අවධි මං අජිනි මං අහාසි මෙ
     යෙ තං උපනය‍්හන‍්ති වෙරං තෙසං න සම‍්මති

     3. akkocchi maṃ avadhi maṃ ajini maṃ ahāsi me

     He abused me, he struck me, he defeated me, he robbed me.
