VI. Old Age — SN1.52: Getting Old

1“What’s good because it never gets old?
What's good when committed?
What is people’s treasure?
What can thieves never take?”

2“Ethics are good because they never get old.
Faith is good when committed.
Wisdom is people’s treasure.
Merit’s what thieves can never take.”

1"Kiṁsu ajarasā sādhu,
kiṁsu sādhu adhiṭṭhitaṁ;
Kiṁsu narānaṁ ratanaṁ,
kiṁsu corehyahāriyan"ti.

2"Sīlaṁ ajarasā sādhu,
saddhā sādhu adhiṭṭhitā;
Paññā narānaṁ ratanaṁ,
puññaṁ corehyahāriyan"ti.
