Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho taṃ brāhmaṇaṃ bhagavā etadavoca—

“Dasayime, brāhmaṇa, ānisaṃsā yāguyā. Katame dasa? Yāguṃ dento āyuṃ deti, vaṇṇaṃ deti, sukhaṃ deti, balaṃ deti, paṭibhānaṃ deti, yāgu pītā khuddaṃ paṭihanati, pipāsaṃ vineti, vātaṃ anulometi, vatthiṃ sodheti, āmāvasesaṃ pāceti—  ime kho, brāhmaṇa, dasānisaṃsā yāguyāti.

Yo saññatānaṃ paradattabhojinaṃ,
Kālena sakkacca dadāti yāguṃ;
Dasassa ṭhānāni anuppavecchati,
Āyuñca vaṇṇañca sukhaṃ balañca.

Paṭibhānamassa upajāyate tato,
Khuddaṃ pipāsañca byapaneti vātaṃ;
Sodheti vatthiṃ pariṇāmeti bhattaṃ,
Bhesajjametaṃ sugatena vaṇṇitaṃ.

Tasmā hi yāguṃ alameva dātuṃ,
Niccaṃ manussena sukhatthikena;
Dibbāni vā patthayatā sukhāni,
Manussasobhagyatamicchatā vā”ti.

Atha kho bhagavā taṃ brāhmaṇaṃ imāhi gāthāhi anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi. Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṃ nidāne etasmiṃ pakaraṇe dhammiṃ kathaṃ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—

“anujānāmi, bhikkhave, yāguñca madhugoḷakañcā”ti.
