### [7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.prasenajidgatha*bo~en-84000.7)

“Whoever joyfully gives bedding and seats  
To those who come from morally disciplined communities,  
Such a person, while cycling through the realms of existence,  
Will obtain a lion’s throne⁴⁷ and the best of seats.  
  
“Those who give to the saṅgha  
Fine food fitting for a renunciant  
Will, amid the wilderness of cyclic existence,  
Obtain food rich in color, taste, and so on.  
  
“Those who give to the saṅgha  
Ample drink fitting for a renunciant  
Will, amid the wilderness of cyclic existence,  
Obtain drink rich in color, taste, and so on.  
  
“Those who practice the excellent way of the holy Dharma,  
Having heard it proclaimed by the World’s Teacher,  
Will swiftly cross the ocean of existence  
Amid the most frightening waves of afflictive emotions.  
  
“O King, since all these virtuous deeds  
Ripen into various worldly pleasures,  
Then the fruit that is the sublime awakening of the buddhas  
Will be just as easy to attain.”  
  
Then, after the king, radiant with joy, circumambulated the sage and the saṅgha and bowed down his head at the feet of the Lord of Sages, he departed the Jeta Grove.
