羅什答遠法師書云。夫財有五備。謂福。戒。博聞。辯才。深智。兼之道隆。未具者凝滯。仁者備之(或聖化物之資用。故名財也)。

In a letter in reply to Dharma Master [Hui]yuan, Kumārajīva said: 'Wealth possesses five provisions: merit, precepts, wide learning, eloquence, and profound wisdom. When combined, the Way flourishes; when lacking, one stagnates. Virtuous sir, you are provided with them.' (Wealth refers to the requisites with which sages transform beings, hence it is called wealth.)
