1“Both gods and humans
enjoy their food.
So what’s the name of the spirit
who doesn’t like food?”

2“Those who give with faith
and a clear and confident heart,
partake of food
in this world and the next.

3So you should dispel stinginess,
overcoming that stain, and give a gift.
The good deeds of sentient beings
support them in the next world.”

1"Annamevābhinandanti,
ubhaye devamānusā;
Atha ko nāma so yakkho,
yaṁ annaṁ nābhinandatī"ti.

2"Ye naṁ dadanti saddhāya,
vippasannena cetasā;
Tameva annaṁ bhajati,
asmiṁ loke paramhi ca.

3Tasmā vineyya maccheraṁ,
dajjā dānaṁ malābhibhū;
Puññāni paralokasmiṁ,
patiṭṭhā honti pāṇinan"ti.
