Vittasutta  Wealth

“Kiṁsūdha vittaṁ purisassa seṭṭhaṁ,  “What’s a person’s best wealth?
Kiṁsu suciṇṇo sukhamāvahati;  What brings happiness when practiced well?
Kiṁsu have sādutaraṁ rasānaṁ, 
sādutaraṁ → sādhutaraṁ (sya-all, mr)
What’s the sweetest taste of all?
Kathaṁjīviṁ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhan”ti. 
Kathaṁjīviṁ → kathaṁjīvī (sya1ed, sya2ed); kiṁsujīviṁ (mr)
The one they say has the best life: how do they live?”

“Saddhīdha vittaṁ purisassa seṭṭhaṁ,  “Faith here is a person’s best wealth.
Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahati;  The teaching brings happiness when practiced well.
Saccaṁ have sādutaraṁ rasānaṁ,  Truth is the sweetest taste of all.
Paññājīviṁ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhan”ti.  The one they say has the best life lives by wisdom.”
