If you learn Sanskrit then Pali will come easily. That way you will know both languages, and will have access to a larger Kāya of texts. If you don’t know any Sanskrit this is a good place to start: https://www.learnsanskrit.org/
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

Of course.
