6. Salàbham nátimaññeyya
n'áññesam pihayam care
Aññesam pihayam bhikkhu
samàdhim n'ádhigacchati. 365.
7. Appalàbho' pi ce bhikkhu
salàbham n'átimaññati
Tam ve devà pasamsanti
suddhájãvim atanditam. 366.
BE CONTENTED
6. Let him not despise what he has received, nor should he live envying (the gains of) others. The bhikkhu who envies (the gains of) others does not attain concentration. 5 365.
DESPISE NOT WHAT ONE GETS
7. Though receiving but little, if a bhikkhu does not despise his own gains, even the gods praise such a one who is pure in livelihood and is not slothful. 366.
Story
