upasama — stillness, calm
Evaṃ bho purisa jānāhi:
pāpadhammā asaññatā.
Mā taṃ lobho adhammo ca
ciraṃ dukkhāya randhayuṃ.
Know this, O good one:
evil things are difficult to control.
Let not greed and wickedness
drag you to protracted misery.
Dhammapada 18.248
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
