So what’s the name of the spirit

Atha ko nāma so yakkho,

who doesn’t like food?”

“Ye naṁ dadanti saddhāya,

and a clear and confident heart,

vippasannena cetasā;

partake of food

Tameva annaṁ bhajati,

in this world and the next.

asmiṁ loke paramhi ca.

So you should dispel stinginess,

Tasmā vineyya maccheraṁ,

overcoming that stain, and give a gift.

The good deeds of sentient beings

Puññāni paralokasmiṁ,

support them in the next world.”
