5.3.62

‘‘Puttā matthi dhanammatthi, iti bālo vihaññati;
Attā hi attano natthi, kuto puttā kuto dhana’’nti.

62. “I have sons, I have wealth.” With these thoughts the simpleton vexes himself.
But he is not his own. How then can sons be his? How can wealth be his?

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
