   Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

   At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

   Then the householder Anāthapiṇḍika went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:

6. 6

   “पञ्चिमे,pañ·ci·me गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदिया।ā·di·yā

   “pañcime, gahapati, bhogānaṁ ādiyā.

    Furthermore, with his legitimate wealth he makes five spirit-offerings:

    Furthermore, with his legitimate wealth he establishes an uplifting religious donation for ascetics and brahmins—those who refrain from intoxication and negligence, are settled in patience and gentleness, and who tame, calm, and extinguish themselves—that’s conducive to heaven, ripens in happiness, and leads to heaven.

22. 22

    अयंa·yaṃ पञ्चमोpañ·ca·mo भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदियो।ā·di·yo

    Ayaṁ pañcamo bhogānaṁ ādiyo.

    This is the fifth reason to get rich.

23. 23

    इमेi·me खो,kho गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti पञ्चpañ·ca भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदिया।ā·di·yā

    Ime kho, gahapati, pañca bhogānaṁ ādiyā.

    These are the five reasons to get rich.

24. 24

    तस्सtas·sa चे,ce गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti अरियसावकस्सa·ri·ya·sā·va·kas·sa इमेi·me पञ्चpañ·ca भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदियेā·di·ye आदियतोā·di·ya·to भोगाbho·gā परिक्खयंpa·rik·kha·yaṃ गच्छन्ति,gac·chan·ti तस्सtas·sa एवंe·vaṃ होति:ho·ti

    Tassa ce, gahapati, ariyasāvakassa ime pañca bhogānaṁ ādiye ādiyato bhogā parikkhayaṁ gacchanti, tassa evaṁ hoti:

    Now if the riches a noble disciple gets for these five reasons run out, he thinks:

25. 25

    ‘येye वतva·ta भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदियाā·di·yā तेte चाहंcā·haṃ आदियामिā·di·yā·mi भोगाbho·gā चca मेme परिक्खयंpa·rik·kha·yaṃ गच्छन्ती’ति।gac·chan·tī

    ‘ye vata bhogānaṁ ādiyā te cāhaṁ ādiyāmi bhogā ca me parikkhayaṁ gacchantī’ti.

    ‘So, the riches I have obtained for these reasons are running out.’

26. 26

    इतिस्सi·tis·sa होतिho·ti अविप्पटिसारो।a·vip·pa·ṭi·sā·ro

    Itissa hoti avippaṭisāro.

    And so he has no regrets.

27. 27

    तस्सtas·sa चे,ce गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti अरियसावकस्सa·ri·ya·sā·va·kas·sa इमेi·me पञ्चpañ·ca भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदियेā·di·ye आदियतोā·di·ya·to भोगाbho·gā अभिवड्ढन्ति,a·bhi·vaḍ·ḍhan·ti तस्सtas·sa एवंe·vaṃ होति:ho·ti

    Tassa ce, gahapati, ariyasāvakassa ime pañca bhogānaṁ ādiye ādiyato bhogā abhivaḍḍhanti, tassa evaṁ hoti:

    But if the riches a noble disciple gets for these five reasons increase, he thinks:

28. 28

    ‘येye वतva·ta भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ आदियाā·di·yā तेte चाहंcā·haṃ आदियामिā·di·yā·mi भोगाbho·gā चca मेme अभिवड्ढन्ती’ति।a·bhi·vaḍ·ḍhan·tī

    ‘ye vata bhogānaṁ ādiyā te cāhaṁ ādiyāmi bhogā ca me abhivaḍḍhantī’ti.

    ‘So, the riches I have obtained for these reasons are increasing.’

29. 29

    इतिस्सi·tis·sa होतिho·ti उभयेनेवu·bha·ye·ne·va अविप्पटिसारोति।a·vip·pa·ṭi·sā·ro·ti

    Itissa hoti ubhayeneva avippaṭisāroti.

    And so he has no regrets in both cases.

30. 30

    भुत्ताbhut·tā भोगाbho·gā भताbha·tā भच्चा,bhac·cā

    Bhuttā bhogā bhatā bhaccā,

    ‘I’ve enjoyed my wealth, <j>supporting those who depend on me;

36. 36

    for which an astute layperson

38. 38

    सोso मेme अत्थोat·tho अनुप्पत्तो,a·nup·pat·to

    So me attho anuppatto,

    wishes to gain wealth.

39. 39

    कतंka·taṃ अननुतापियं।a·na·nu·tā·pi·yaṃ

    kataṁ ananutāpiyaṁ.

    I don’t regret what I’ve done.’

40. 40

    एतंe·taṃ अनुस्सरंa·nus·sa·raṃ मच्चो,mac·co

    Etaṁ anussaraṁ macco,

    stands firm in the teaching of the noble ones.

42. 42

    इधेवi·dhe·va नंnaṃ पसंसन्ति,pa·saṃ·san·ti

    Idheva naṁ pasaṁsanti,

    They’re praised in this life by the astute,
