[714] "Worthy Gotama, the brahmins prescribe five things for the making of merit (puñña) and the accomplishment of the wholesome (kusala)."
"Student (māṇava), as to those five things which the brahmins prescribe for the making of merit and the accomplishment of the wholesome — if it is not troublesome for you, it would be good if you would state those five things in this assembly."
"It is no trouble at all, worthy Gotama, where honorable ones such as yourself are seated, or those of your honor's kind."
"Then speak, student."
