Dadato puññaṃ pavaḍḍhati; Saṃyamato veraṃ na cīyati; Kusalo ca jahāti pāpakaṃ, Rāgadosamohakkhayā sanibbuto. Listen Who gives, one's virtues shall increase; Who is self-curbed, no hatred bears; Who so is skilled in virtue, evil shuns, And by the rooting out of lust and hate And all delusion, comes to be at peace.
