Dhammapda 7-8 (Sayings of the Dhamma) Yamaka (Dichotomies ) 7. Subhānupassiṁ viharantaṁ, (Whoever lives) Focused on the pleasant indriyesu asaṁvutaṁ; Senses unguarded Bhojanamhi ca amattaññuṁ, Immoderate with food, kusītaṁ hīna vīriyaṁ; Lazy and sluggish, Taṁ ve pasahati māro, Will be overpowered by Mara vāto rukkhaṁva dubbalaṁ. As a weak tree is bent in the wind. 8. Asubhānupassiṁ viharantaṁ, (Whoever lives) Focused on the unpleasant Indriyesu susaṁvutaṁ; Senses guarded Bhojanamhi ca mattaññuṁ, Moderate with food, Saddhaṁ āraddha vīriyaṁ; Confident and diligent, Taṁ ve nappasahati māro, Will not be overpowered by Mara Vāto selaṁva pabbataṁ. As a stone mountain is unmoved by the wind. Story: Mahākāḷatthera Vatthu
