[467] "What do you think, great king? If a merchant (vessa) should prosper in wealth, grain, silver, or gold, would there be a merchant … a worker (sudda) … a noble (khattiya) … a brahmin (brāhmaṇa) who would rise before him, retire after him, be attentive to his every command, behave agreeably toward him, and speak pleasantly to him?"
"Worthy Kaccāna, if a merchant should prosper in wealth, grain, silver, or gold, there would be a merchant … a worker … a noble … a brahmin who would rise before him, retire after him, be attentive to his every command, behave agreeably toward him, and speak pleasantly to him."
