Thag 15.2 PTS: Thag 700-701- Udayin Thera: The Blooming Lotus(excerpt)
As the flower of a lotus, Arisen in water, blossoms, Pure-scented and pleasing the mind, Yet is not drenched by the water,

In the same way, born in the world, The Buddha abides in the world; And like the lotus by water, He does not get drenched by the world.
