1 "Sattahi, bhikkhave, angehi samannāgato mitto sevitabbo. Katamehi sattahi? Duddadaṃ dadāti, dukkaraṃ karoti, dukkhamaṃ khamati, guyhamassa āvi karoti, guyhamassa pariguhati, āpadāsu na jahati, khīṇena nātimaññati. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi angehi samannāgato mitto sevitabboti.

2 Duddadaṃ dadāti mitto,
dukkarañcāpi kubbati;
Athopissa duruttāni,
khamati dukkhamāni ca.

3 Guyhañca tassa akkhāti,
guyhassa parigūhati;
Āpadāsu na jahāti,
khīṇena nātimaññati.

4 Yamhi etāni ṭhānāni,
saṃvijjantīdha puggale;
So mitto mittakāmena,
bhajitabbo tathāvidho"ti.

Pañcamaṃ.
