“Mendicants, a male noble disciple who grows in five ways grows nobly, taking on what is essential and excellent in this life. What five? He grows in faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. A male noble disciple who grows in these five ways grows nobly, taking on what is essential and excellent in this life.
He who grows in faith and ethics, wisdom, and both generosity and learning— a good man such as he sees clearly, and takes on what is essential for himself in this life.”
“Saddhāya sīlena ca yo pavaḍḍhati, Paññāya cāgena sutena cūbhayaṁ; So tādiso sappuriso vicakkhaṇo, Ādīyatī sāramidheva attano”ti. Tatiyaṁ.
