དེ་བས་པང་དུ་སྦྲུལ་འོང་ན།  །

ཇི་ལྟར་རིངས་བས་ལྡང་བ་ལྟར།  །
དེ་བཞིན་གཉིད་དང་སྙོམ་འོང་ན།  །

མྱུར་དུ་དེ་དག་བཟློག་པར་བྱ།  །

How hurriedly I would stand
Should a snake fall into my lap.
Likewise, whenever sleep or laziness occur,
I shall avert them with due urgency and haste.[1]

Śāntideva, Introduction to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, VII, 72
