PāliPali
“Mendicants, these three things are recommended by astute true persons. What three? Giving, going forth, and taking care of your mother and father. These are the three things recommended by astute true persons.
“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, paṇḍitapaññattāni sappurisapaññattāni. Katamāni tīṇi? Dānaṁ, bhikkhave, paṇḍitapaññattaṁ sappurisapaññattaṁ. Pabbajjā, bhikkhave, paṇḍitapaññattā sappurisapaññattā. Mātāpitūnaṁ, bhikkhave, upaṭṭhānaṁ paṇḍitapaññattaṁ sappurisapaññattaṁ. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi paṇḍitapaññattāni sappurisapaññattānīti.
The virtuous recommend giving, harmlessness, restraint, and self-control; caring for mother and father, and peaceful spiritual practitioners.
Sabbhi dānaṁ upaññattaṁ, ahiṁsā saṁyamo damo; Mātāpitu upaṭṭhānaṁ, santānaṁ brahmacārinaṁ.
These are the things recommended by the good, which the astute should cultivate. A noble one, having vision, will enjoy a world of grace.”
Sataṁ etāni ṭhānāni, yāni sevetha paṇḍito; Ariyo dassanasampanno, sa lokaṁ bhajate sivan”ti. Pañcamaṁ.
