“‘Daliddo, daliddo’ti, bhante, vuccati. 
Daliddo, daliddo’ti → daḷiddo daḷiddoti (bj, sya-all)
“Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘poor’.
Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, ‘daliddo’ti vuccatī”ti?  How is a poor person defined?”

“Sattannaṁ kho, bhikkhu, bojjhaṅgānaṁ abhāvitattā abahulīkatattā ‘daliddo’ti vuccati.  “Mendicant, they’re called poor because they haven’t developed and cultivated the seven awakening factors.
Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ?  What seven?
Satisambojjhaṅgassa …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgassa—  The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity.
imesaṁ kho, bhikkhu, sattannaṁ bojjhaṅgānaṁ abhāvitattā abahulīkatattā ‘daliddo’ti vuccatī”ti.  They’re called poor because they haven’t developed and cultivated these seven awakening factors.”

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
