By giving gifts without harming others, they become rich and then have many friends, ministers, kinsmen, and relatives, as before. They obtain whatever wealth they wish for through diligence. It is achieved with power; it is achieved without sweating, and while a pleasant aroma pervades.⁸ Those things obtained by Dharma practitioners through the Dharma are not obstructed by kings, thieves, fire, water, unfriendly people, the sharing of goods, or any other activity. They should expect such karmic results from giving gifts without harming others.” - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.satpurusa*bo~en-84000.1) - [Next: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.satpurusa*bo~en-84000.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་སྐྱེས་བུ་དམ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.satpurusa*bo.2) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.satpurusa*bo~en-84000.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.satpurusa*bo~en-84000.2) · Pramāṇa
