   • c. 50 BC, The Buddha, Dhammapada(pāḷi), Yamakavagga, page 26; republished in The Eighteenth Book in the Suttanta-Pitaka: Khuddaka-Nikāya‎, 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
     ye taṃ upanayhanti veraṃ tesaṃ na sammati

     He abused me, he struck me, he defeated me, he robbed me.
     Hatred does not subside for those who nurse grudges thus.
