If the relatives are not born therein, the giver alone obtains his merit; even if the donor (dānapati) is reborn in the six destinies, the given items will always accompany him. Because of upholding precepts, even if one obtains a human body, one must have additional merit to assist the retribution. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.87) - [Next: 19.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.89) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.19.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.88) · Pramāṇa
