Evaṃ me sutaṃ -
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
Atha kho aññatarā devatā abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇā kevalakappaṃ jetavanaṃ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami;
upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi.
Ekamantaṃ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imā gāthāyo abhāsi -
‘‘Ādittasmiṃ agārasmiṃ, yaṃ nīharati bhājanaṃ;
Taṃ tassa hoti atthāya, no ca yaṃ tattha ḍayhati.
‘‘Evaṃ ādittako loko, jarāya maraṇena ca;
Nīharetheva dānena, dinnaṃ hoti sunīhataṃ.
‘‘Dinnaṃ sukhaphalaṃ hoti, nādinnaṃ hoti taṃ tathā;
Corā haranti rājāno, aggi ḍahati nassati.
‘‘Atha antena jahati, sarīraṃ sapariggahaṃ;
Etadaññāya medhāvī, bhuñjetha ca dadetha ca;
Datvā ca bhutvā ca yathānubhāvaṃ;
Anindito saggamupeti ṭhāna’’nti.
