1.85

「履仁行慈,博愛濟眾,有十一譽,
福常隨身。臥安覺安,不見惡夢,
天護人愛,不毒不兵,水火不喪,
所在得利,死昇梵天,是為十一。」

“There are eleven advantages which attend the man who practises mercifulness, and is tender to all that lives; his body is always in health (happy); he is blessed with peaceful sleep, and when engaged in study he is also composed; he has no evil dreams, he is protected by Heaven (Devas), and loved by men; he is unmolested by poisonous things, and escapes the violence of war; he is unharmed by fire or water; he is successful wherever he lives, and when dead goes to the heaven of Brahma. These are the eleven.”

Samuel Beal, Texts from the Buddhist Canon commonly known as Dhammapada, with accompanying narratives
