Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

25: The Chapter about Monastics – 302
Restraint is good in every way
A group of monks argued about which sense door was the
hardest to restrain; the Buddha told them that in a previous
life they were unable to restrain their senses and were
devoured by an ogress, he then taught them these verses as the
way to attain release from suffering.
