Paṭhamamahaddhanasutta 
Paṭhamamahaddhanasutta → aḍḍhasuttaṁ (bj); mahaddhana or aḍḍha 1 (pts1ed)
Rich (1st)

“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccati. 
mahaddhano → mahaḍḍhano (bj) | mahābhogo’ti → mahābhogo mahāyasoti (sya-all, pts1ed, mr)
“Mendicants, a noble disciple who has four things is said to be rich, affluent, and wealthy.

Katamehi catūhi?  What four?
Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—  It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti; 
dhamme …pe…  the teaching …
saṅghe …pe…  the Saṅgha …
ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi.  And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccatī”ti.  A noble disciple who has these four things is said to be rich, affluent, and wealthy.”

Catutthaṁ.
