177

Na ve kadariyā devalokaṃ vajanti,
Bālā have nappasaṃsanti dānaṃ;
Dhīro ca dānaṃ anumodamāno,
Teneva so hoti sukhī parattha.

The uncharitable do not go to the world of the gods; fools only do not praise liberality; a wise man rejoices in liberality, and through it becomes blessed in the other world.

Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
