SN55:44 Rich (1)

1"Bhikkhus, a noble disciple who possesses four things is said to be rich, with much wealth and property.[n.362] I follow Be and Se in not inserting mahāyaso here. If this is inserted, as in Ee, there is no difference between this sutta and the next one.

1"Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccati.

2What four? "Here, bhikkhus, a noble disciple possesses confirmed confidence in the Buddha … in the Dhamma … in the Saṅgha. … He possesses the virtues dear to the noble ones, unbroken … leading to concentration.

2Katamehi catūhi? Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti – itipi so bhagavā … pe … satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti; dhamme … pe … saṅghe … pe … ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi … pe … samādhisaṁvattanikehi.

"A noble disciple who possesses these four things is said to be rich, with much wealth and property."

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccatī"ti.

Catutthaṁ.
