[73] Ever is there blessing for the bhikkhu who is without wealth, the homeless one:
for such men nothing is stored up in granary, nor in pot, nor in basket;
seeking food already prepared,
by that they sustain themselves, keeping their vows well.
A second blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
a blameless alms-morsel may be eaten,
and no one obstructs him.
A third blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
a cooled alms-morsel may be eaten,
and no one obstructs him.
A fourth blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
released, as he wanders through the realm,
no attachment (saṅga) is found in him.
A fifth blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
when the city is burning,
nothing of his is burnt.
A sixth blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
when the realm is being plundered,
nothing of his is carried off.
A seventh blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
though the road be held by robbers, and whatever other brigands there be,
taking bowl and robe, the one of good vows goes in safety.
An eighth blessing, too, there is for the bhikkhu without wealth, the homeless one:
to whatever quarter he sets out,
he goes without concern.
