持戒清淨人所奉 恭敬隨時以粥施
十利饒益於行者 色力壽樂辭清辯
宿食風除飢渴消 是名為藥佛所說
欲生人天長壽樂 今當以粥施眾僧

"Pure in upholding precepts, respected by others,
Respectfully give gruel in accordance with the proper time.
Ten benefits enrich the practitioner:
Physical complexion, strength, longevity, happiness, and clear eloquence;
Previous food and wind disorders are removed, hunger and thirst dispelled;
This is called medicine, as spoken by the Buddha.
Desiring to be born among humans or gods with long-lived joy,
One should now give gruel to the saṃgha."
