239 “Ādittasmiṃ agārasmiṃ,

yaṃ nīharati bhājanaṃ;

Taṃ tassa hoti atthāya,

no ca yaṃ tattha ḍayhati.

240 Evaṃ ādittako loko,

jarāya maraṇena ca;

Nīharetheva dānena,

dinnaṃ hoti sunīhataṃ.

241 Dinnaṃ sukhaphalaṃ hoti,

nādinnaṃ hoti taṃ tathā;

Corā haranti rājāno,

aggi ḍahati nassati.

242 Atha antena jahati,

Sarīraṃ sapariggahaṃ;

Etadaññāya medhāvī,

Bhuñjetha ca dadetha ca;

Datvā ca bhutvā ca yathānubhāvaṃ,

Anindito saggamupeti ṭhānan”ti.
