15: The Chapter about Happiness – 192<br />

The greatest things<br />

King Pasenadi was always overeating and suffering for it so<br />

the Buddha had the King’s nephew learn and recite a verse<br />

which reminded the King to be moderate; later the King told<br />

the Buddha he was cured, and the Buddha recited the<br />

following verse.<br />

204. Ārogyaparamā lābhā, santuṭṭhi paramaṁ dhanaṁ,<br />

vissāsā paramā ñāti, Nibbānaṁ paramaṁ sukhaṁ.<br />

Health is the supreme gain,<br />

content the supreme wealth,<br />

faith is the supreme kin,<br />

Nibbāna supreme good.
