SN 1.1.48 Jetavanasuttaṁ<br />

The Purification <strong>of</strong> Mortals<br />

Anāthapiṇḍika is reborn as a god in Heaven.<br />

Later he comes to see the Buddha and utters<br />

these words.<br />

56. Kammaṁ vijjā ca dhammo ca, sīlaṁ jīvitam-uttamaṁ,<br />

Etena maccā sujjhanti, na gottena dhanena vā.<br />

Deeds, knowledge and concentration<br />

And virtue are the life supreme,<br />

By these mortals are purified,<br />

But not by their clan or their wealth.<br />
