The Dhamma is followed by me, for the sake of the world; 98. Having obtained the human birth, most difficult to obtain, All free from proliferation, and the opportune moment, Having known the Dhamma that removes influxes and brings benefit, What wise person would not constantly cultivate the Dhamma? 99. Having obtained the time of the Buddha, most difficult to obtain, The true Dhamma, the unequaled path, the giver of bliss, And excellent wise friends, and the wealth of intelligence, What wise person would not constantly cultivate the Dhamma? 100. Even this rare fortune, well obtained in prosperity, Free from the fault of stinginess, desiring the welfare of both, Endowed with faith and other virtues, always diligent, O good people! O good people! Do meritorious deeds for the attainment of immortality;
