HAPPINESS AND MISERY THROUGH CHARITY AND THE LACK OF IT
113. What shall one do in the next birth when his accumulated merit exhausts if one does not reduce the misery of a mendicant by giving to him, but looks towards the others?
114.
SĀRĀVALI PRAKĪRNAKA : 35
The knowledge that helps in attaining nirvāṇa is the only right-knowledge, all other knowledge is false and is instrumental in destroying the path to spiritual emancipation.
115.
116.
There is no giver like the one who gives the desired objects to the mendicants while climbing the Satruñjaya hill.
Persons of the first category (those who do not give) remain poor and miserable while those of the second category remain happy in the human and the heavenly birth.
THE BENEFIT OF WRITING THIS BOOK
May the scribe of this Sārāvalī Prakīrṇaka not incur sin and may he gain abundant fame and glory.
