[1998] "As a borrowed carriage, as borrowed wealth,
just such is this, which comes through another's giving;
and I do not desire that which comes through another's giving.
The merits (puñña) done by myself — that is wealth that is mine alone.
So, having gone among humans, I shall do abundant wholesome (kusala) deeds
through giving (dāna), through even conduct (samacariyā), through restraint (saṃyama), and through taming (dama) —
by doing which one is happy and does not repent afterwards."
