Translation
| a1 | [14e] |
|---|---|
| a1 | ... among the gods were [re]born. [One of them], Upoṣatha by name, he was the [most] glorious god. One evening he came together with these 500 Gods. The four truths I proclaimed to them in every detail, |
| a1+ | [and] together with [his] followers he obtained the first stage [of the Srotaāpanna]. |
| a2 | [15e] |
| a2 | See ye, the fruit of such eightfold discipline [is] so great, therefore it [has] to be practiced. With regard to this the Buddha spoke this good strophe: |
| a2+ | Faith as well as modesty as well as the gift, these are the laws praised by the good people. |
| a3 | [16e] |
| a3 | For this way all Buddhas call the [most] divine, on this he goes to the divine wold. This strophe first spoke the Omniscient to the ones insatiable for births. |
| a3+ | This, then, he let these know: |
| a4 | to whomever the wish should be, to be [re]born in the divine world, he shall observe here the four laws, he shall be religious, also modest [and he shall be] gift-giving. Such a one enters into the divine world. |
| a5 | [17e] |
| a5 | The gift [is] the basis, the moral behavior is the foundation, but faith creates belief concerning cause and fruit. What is faith? It makes one belief in another’s splendid virtues in the cylcle of births. And when therein it causes the thought of longing for such virtues, it abandons for the virtues’ sake life, possession and everything. He who has love for the virtues [and] not for his life [and] possessions is the truly believing one. |
| a6 | [18e] |
| a6 | He who has love for the virtues [and] not for his life [and] possessions is the truly believing one. The believing one longs always to see the good ones, with all effort to hear the law [and] to give gifts, always wishful to collect the jewels of law. |
| a7 | (For) these two are called the tender hands of the believing one. |
| a7+ | For these (beings) going into the wood .... in the companion ... |
| a8+ | ... (a gift [is] shelter [and] refuge) and what is being generated thereby (in) body, word and (thought) ... |
| b1 | . [20e] |
| b1 | ... pleases (in) poverty and misery... ([The] gift is the root), the Pāramitā ... |
| b2 | [the] gift is the basis for those creatures going into the wood, [the] gift is the protection from the fear of poverty, [the] gift [is] a kinsman in the danger of the five kinds of existence. |
| b2+ | Therefore the three laws, with all effort, have to be collected by the being who understands. |
| b3 | [21e] |
| b3 | The Buddha, the master, was in Rājagṛha at that time. The venerable Ānanda entered the town to collect alms. He went to the house of a pupil of these Ājīvikas. This one spoke to Ānanda: |
| b4 | [22e] |
| b4 | “By me this view is held firmly: there is no gift, nor sacrifice either, good deed [and] evil deed, both do not exist. But you, the followers of Śākya, deceive beings without number. |
| b4+ | The one rich in gifts is [re]born among Gods and men, |
| b5 | [thus] you proclaim to beings without number the praise of the gift. I will not drink the poison of your words, |
| b5+ | I will not give you nor anyone else a gift. |
| b6 | [23e] |
| b6 | This you shall know, go away from my house.” To other houses then Ānanda went to collect alms. [But] after [his] meal he went and reported this to the Buddha: “In this way the pupil of the Ājīvikas spoke to me, |
| b7 | [24e] |
| b7 | with angry words he suckled me very much.” With regard to this the Buddha spoke to Ānanda this strophe with good meaning and expression: The bad ones certainly do not go into the divine world, for they are fools and do not praise the giving of gifts. |
| b7+ | The believer, however, [is] rejoicing in the gift. |
| b8 | [25e] |
| b8 | For thus he will be happy in the other birth. This strophe he spoke to Ānanda. Evil is always to be expected of evil, do not let yourself be hindered! The bad one, the greedy one, the one [not having kept up] moral behavior |

| a1 | Er [scil. der Gott Upoṣatha] kam des Abends zusammen mit diesen 500 Göttern. (Schmidt 1974: 472, fn. 1) |
|---|---|
| a4 | Wer den Wunsch haben sollte, in der göttlichen Welt [wieder]geboren zu werden, der übe sich hier in den vier Gesetzen! (Schmidt 1974: 337) |
| a5+ | And if it (= faith) creates the thought of desire for these virtues, it gives up life, possession[s] [and] everything because of those virtues. (cf : ii, 38) (Peyrot 2013c: 680) |
| a5+ | Und [wenn] er [scil. der Gläubige] dabei den Gedanken des Verlangens nach solchen Tugenden bewirkt, gibt er der Tugenden halber Leben, Besitz [und] alles hin. (Schmidt 1974: 341) |
| a6+ | Der Gläubige begehrt stets die Guten zu sehen; mit allem Eifer das Gesetz zu hören [und] Gabe zu geben, [ist er] stets wünschend, um die Gesetzesjuwelen zu sammeln. (Schmidt 1974: 154) |
| b3 | Der Buddha, der Lehrer, befand sich damals in Rājagṛha. (Schmidt 1974: 110) |
| b4+ | Von mir ist diese Ansicht fest gefasst: Es gibt nicht Gabe, auch nicht Opfer, gute Tat [und] böse Tat, beide gibt es nicht. Ihr aber, ihr Śākya-Anhänger, betrügt zahllose Wesen. Der in Gabe Reiche wird bei Göttern [und] Menschen [wieder]geboren, [so] tragt ihr zahllosen Wesen das Lob der Gabe vor. Ich werde nicht das Gift eurer Worte trinken, ich werde weder dir noch einem anderen eine Gabe geben. Dieses wisse gefälligst, geh fort aus meinem Hause! (Schmidt 1974: 441) |
| b6 | Then Ānanda went to other houses for alms. [But] he went after eating [and] this he told to the Buddha. (cf : ii, 39) (Peyrot 2013c: 376) |
| b8 | Böses ist immer von Bösen zu erwarten, sei nicht verstört! (Schmidt 1974: 159) |
Commentary

| n1 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 54 fn. 7. |
| n2 | According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 54 fn. 9 the reading ontsoycceś should be corrected to ontsoyṃceś in the transcription. |
| n3 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 54 fn. 8. |
| n4 | The reading ślekwipassu stands for ślek kwipasse according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 55 fn. 1. |
| n5 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 55 fn. 3. |
| n6 | Addition based on Sieg and Siegling 1949, II 39 fn. 3-6. |
| n7 | According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 55 fn. 8. the reading cmelaṣṣeṃ should be corrected to cmelaṣṣeṃts in the transcription. |
| n8 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 55 fn. 3. |
| n9 | According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 55 fn. 9 the reading kraupanallona should be corrected to kraupnallona in the transcription due to the meter. |
Remarks
| The original manuscript is missing, but was an almost complete leaf, with only the bottom edge slightly more damaged. |
