[392] This is what [the Blessed One] said. …
Grain, wealth, silver, and gold,
or whatever possessions there are;
slaves, workers, messengers,
and those who live in dependence on him —
without taking anything he must go;
all of it is destined to be left behind.
But what he does by body,
by speech, or by mind —
that indeed is his own,
and taking that he goes;
that follows after him
like a shadow that trails along.
Therefore one should do what is good,
laying up a store for the life to come:
merits are the support of living beings
in the world beyond.
