1“Mendicants, there are five benefits of giving. What five? A giver, a donor is dear and beloved by many people. Good people associate with them. They get a good reputation. They don’t neglect a layperson’s duties. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. These are the five benefits of giving.

2Giving, one is loved,
and follows the way of the good.
The good, disciplined spiritual practitioners
associate with you.

3They teach you the Dhamma
that dispels all suffering.
Understanding this teaching,
you’re extinguished without defilements.”

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, dāne ānisaṁsā. Katame pañca? Bahuno janassa piyo hoti manāpo; santo sappurisā bhajanti; kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggacchati; gihidhammā anapagato hoti; kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dāne ānisaṁsāti.

2Dadamāno piyo hoti,
sataṁ dhammaṁ anukkamaṁ;
Santo naṁ sadā bhajanti,
saññatā brahmacārayo.

3Te tassa dhammaṁ desenti,
Sabbadukkhāpanūdanaṁ;
Yaṁ so dhammaṁ idhaññāya,
Parinibbāti anāsavo"ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
