Pahūtavitto puriso
sahirañño sabhojano,
eko bhuñjati sādūni —
taṃ parābhavato mukhaṃ.
To have much wealth
and ample gold and food,
but to enjoy one’s luxuries alone —
this is a cause of one’s downfall.
Sutta Nipāta 1.102
Everyman’s Ethics: Four Discourses by the Buddha (WH 14),
translated by Narada Thera
