1.51. Già

“Kiṁsu yāva jarā sādhu,

kiṁsu sādhu patiṭṭhitaṁ;

Kiṁsu narānaṁ ratanaṁ,

kiṁsu corehi dūharan”ti.

“Sīlaṁ yāva jarā sādhu,

saddhā sādhu patiṭṭhitā;

Paññā narānaṁ ratanaṁ,

puññaṁ corehi dūharan”ti.

A devatā:

SC 1 “What is good until old age?
What is good when established?
What is the precious gem of humans?
What is hard for thieves to steal?”

The Blessed One:

SC 2 “Virtue is good until old age;
Faith is good when established;
Wisdom is the precious gem of humans;
Merit is hard for thieves to steal.”
