SN 1.1.73 Vittasuttaṁ<br />

Four Great Things<br />

A God comes to the Buddha and asks four<br />

questions to which these are the replies.<br />

69. Saddhīdha vittaṁ purisassa seṭṭhaṁ,<br />

Dhammo suciṇṇo sukham-āvahāti,<br />

Saccaṁ have sādutaraṁ rasānaṁ,<br />

Paññājīviṁ jīvitam-āhu seṭṭhaṁ<br />

Faith is the greatest wealth in the world,<br />

The Dhamma, when practiced, brings happiness,<br />

The Truth is surely the sweetest <strong>of</strong> tastes,<br />

Living wisely they say is the greatest.<br />
