SN 1.73 Wealth – Vittasutta

 

“What’s a person’s best wealth?

“Kiṁsūdha vittaṁ purisassa seṭṭhaṁ,

What brings happiness when practiced well?

Kiṁsu suciṇṇo sukhamāvahati;

What’s the sweetest taste of all?

Kiṁsu have sādutaraṁ rasānaṁ,

The one who they say has the best life: how do they live?”

Kathaṁjīviṁ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhan”ti.

“Faith here is a person’s best wealth.

“Saddhīdha vittaṁ purisassa seṭṭhaṁ,

The teaching brings happiness when practiced well.

Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahati;

Truth is the sweetest taste of all.

Saccaṁ have sādutaraṁ rasānaṁ,

The one who they say has the best life lives by wisdom.”

Paññājīviṁ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhan”ti.
