443Tatthetaṃ vuccati— 

444 “Dānampi catthacariyatañca,

Piyavāditañca samānattatañca;

Kariyacariyasusaṅgahaṃ bahūnaṃ,

Anavamatena guṇena yāti saggaṃ.

445 Caviya punaridhāgato samāno,

Karacaraṇamudutañca jālino ca;

Atirucirasuvaggudassaneyyaṃ,

Paṭilabhati daharo susu kumāro.

446 Bhavati parijanassavo vidheyyo,

Mahimaṃ āvasito susaṅgahito;

Piyavadū hitasukhataṃ jigīsamāno,

Abhirucitāni guṇāni ācarati.

447 Yadi ca jahati sabbakāmabhogaṃ,

Kathayati dhammakathaṃ jino janassa;

Vacanapaṭikarassābhippasannā,

Sutvāna dhammānudhammamācarantī”ti.
