Selected Verses from the Dhammapada
Translated by P. Lal...Chapter: The Elephant...page 139




He kills his father and his mother, he kills two Kshatriya kings, he slaughters all the subjects of a kingdom-- and the saint unaffected proceeds as he is.

He kills his lust and ignorance, he kills ambition and pride, he slaughters all the evils of the body-- and the saint unaffected proceeds as he is.
