"Na ve kadariya devalokam vajanti
bala have nappasamsanti danam
dhiro ca danam anumodamano
teneva so hoti sukhi parattha."
"Indeed, misers do not go to the abode of the devas;
fools do not praise charity;
but the wise rejoice in charity and
so gain happiness in the life hereafter."
Sabbe satta avera hontu

Sabbe satta sukhi attanam pariharantu
May all beings be free from enmity/danger.
