2. Ajarasa Sutta
Discourse on Non-deterioration

      52. (The deva said:)

      "What, by not deteriorating, serves one well?

      What, if firmly established, serves one well?

      What is a precious treasure for man?

      What is it that cannot be taken away by thieves?"

      (The Bhagava said:)

      "Moral conduct, by not deteriorating, serves one well. Religious conviction, if firmly established, serves one well. Knowledge is a precious treasure for man. The merit of good actions cannot be taken away by thieves,"

End of the Ajarasa Sutta,
