[260] "Surely indeed you desire my welfare, in that you admonish me;
I shall do just so — all that has been spoken by you who seek my good.
This very day I desist;
never would I do any evil;
nor is there anything of mine that may not be given;
nor, without having given, will I drink water.
And as I give thus at all times, O Vāsava,
even my riches will be exhausted;
then, O Sakka, I shall go forth,
abandoning sensual pleasures (kāma) just as they stand."
