4.346

贊曰:此第四,命蘇達多。初命、後辭。此初命也。蘇達多者,此云善施,善濟孤窮、心無所悋,故名善施。舊云「善德」,名義稍乖。

Commentary: This is the fourth [section], charging Sudatta. First is the charge, and later is the declining. This is the initial charge. "Sudatta" is translated here as Shanshi (Well-Bestowing); he skillfully relieves the orphaned and poor with a mind devoid of stinginess, hence he is called Well-Bestowing. The older version said "Shande" (Good Virtue), which slightly diverges from the name's meaning.
