The Discourse on Ugga
7.
Then Ugga, the prime minister, approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.
Seated to one side, Ugga, the prime minister, said this to the Blessed One -
"Wonderful, venerable sir, marvellous, venerable sir! How wealthy is this Migāra of Rohaṇa, venerable sir, how great in riches, how great in possessions!" "But how wealthy, Ugga, is Migāra of Rohaṇa, how great in riches, how great in possessions?" "A hundred hundred thousand in gold, venerable sir, what then to say of silver!" "There is indeed, Ugga, that wealth, I do not say 'there is not'. But that wealth, Ugga, is common to fire, water, kings, thieves, and unloved heirs. There are, Ugga, these seven treasures not common to fire, water, kings, thieves, and unloved heirs. What are the seven? The treasure of faith, the treasure of morality, the treasure of shame, the treasure of moral fear, the treasure of learning, the treasure of generosity, the treasure of wisdom. These, Ugga, are the seven treasures not common to fire, water, kings, thieves, and unloved heirs.
The treasure of learning and generosity, wisdom indeed is the seventh treasure.
He is indeed wealthy in the world, invincible among gods and humans.
The wise one should pursue, remembering the Buddhas' teaching." The seventh.
