| a1 | (2. And furthermore): Of virtue/merit this is the one quality superior to all for us: |
|---|
| a1+ | that it is not burned with fire, |
|---|
| a2 | not flooded away by water, |
|---|
| a2 | [that it] cannot be taken away by kings |
|---|
| a2 | [and that] further they cannot be stolen by thieves. |
|---|
| a2+ | And when a being lies on its deathbed, surrounded by all illnesses, and is going to (another) world without consciousness and without love, at that moment [its] energy is not of any use, nor are [its] art, [its] wisdom, [its] beauty, [its] father, [its] mother, [its] sister, [its] brother, [its] wife, [its] sons, [its] house, or [its] possession[s] of any use – |
|---|
| a6 | only [its] virtue/merit is of use at that moment. |

| a6 | || In the H.-tune: || |

| a6 | Virtue/merit is its protection |

| a6+ | virtue/merit ..., |

| b1 | virtue is its companion, virtue is comforting him. |

| b1 | Merit drives away its fears, |
|---|
| b1+ | the ? of a bad incarnation, merit |
|---|
| b2 | follows it in all incarnations, |
|---|
| b2 | gives him divine and human pleasures. |
|---|
| b2+ | With merit therefore like |
|---|
| b3 | ... cannot be achieved by the beings. |
|---|
| b3+ | And since virtues are the source and the root of all good qualities, |
|---|
| b4 | (the requirement?) for all perfections, |
|---|
| b4 | [and since they] are loved by all good beings, |
|---|
| b4+ | [since they] spread the good reputation, |
|---|
| b5 | [since] they make possible a joyful dignity |
|---|
| b5 | and they also cause an end to all sufferings, |
|---|
| b5+ | therefore in my opinion merit is the very best and superior to all. |

| a1+ | Dies ist die alles überragende gute Eigenschaft der verdienstvollen Taten für uns, dass sie da nicht durch Feuer verbrannt werden, nicht durch Wasser fortgespült werden, nicht von Königen weggenommen [und] auch nicht von Dieben gestohlen werden können. (Schmidt 1974: 257-8, 259) |
