Verses on the Riches of a Noble One
[ Ha꜓nda mayaṃ a꜕riya-dhana-gāthā꜓yo bha꜕ṇāmase ]
Yassa꜕ sa꜕ddhā tathā꜓ga꜕te
a꜕ca꜕lā su꜕pa꜕tiṭṭhi꜓tā
Sī꜓lañca꜕ yassa꜕ kalyāṇaṃ
a꜕riya-kantaṃ pasa꜓ṃsi꜕taṃ
One whose faith in the Tathā꜕gata
Is unshaken and esta꜓bli꜕shed well,
Whose virtue is be꜕autiful,
The Noble Ones enjo꜓y an꜕d praise;
Sa꜓ṅghe pa꜕sā꜕do yass’atthi
uju-bhūtañca da꜓ss꜕anaṃ
A꜕daliddo’t꜕i taṃ āhu꜕
a꜕moghaṃ ta꜕ssa꜕ jīvi꜓taṃ
Whose trust is in꜕ th꜕e Sa꜕ṅgha,
Who sees things rightly a꜓s th꜕ey are,
It is sa꜕id th꜕at no꜕t i꜕n vain
And undeluded i꜓s th꜕eir life.
Tasmā sa꜕ddhañca꜕ sī꜓lañca꜕
pasādaṃ dhamma-da꜓ssa꜕naṃ
A꜕nuyuñjetha medhāvī
sa꜕raṃ buddhāna sā꜓sa꜕naṃ
To virtu꜓e and to꜕ faith,
To trust to se꜓ein꜕g truth,
To these the wise devo꜕te th꜕emselves,
The Buddha꜓’s teaching in꜕ th꜕eir mind.
