“In the location where he constructs his dwelling,
the naturally wise one;
having fed the virtuous ones there,
those self-controlled ones faring the life of purity.

The devas who were at that place,
he dedicates the offering for them;
they being worshipped, they worship him,
being esteemed, they esteem him.

From that they have compassion for him,
like a mother to her only own son;
The man for whom the devas have compassion,
always sees the auspicious.”

yasmiṃ padese kappeti,
vāsaṃ paṇḍitajātiyo;
sīlavantettha bhojetvā,
saññate brahmacārayo.

yā tattha devatā āsuṃ,
tāsaṃ dakkhiṇamādise;
tā pūjitā pūjayanti,
mānitā mānayanti naṃ.

tato naṃ anukampanti,
mātā puttaṃ'ca orasaṃ;
devatānukampito poso,
sadā bhadrāni passatī'ti.
