Dhammapada - 178: Fruit of Stream Entry

  • A Saddhamma Study Group translation from the Pāḷi text.

178. Better than sovereign power over the earth,
or going to heaven;
[or even] exercising power over the entire universe,
is the friut of stream entry [the breakthrough].

178 pathavyā ekarajjena,
saggassa gamanena vā;
sabbalokādhipaccena,
sotāpattiphalaṃ varaṃ.
