“यानि कानिचि, भिक्खवे, कुलानि भोगेसु महत्तं पत्तानि न चिरट्ठितिकानि भवन्ति, सब्बानि तानि चतूहि ठानेहि, एतेसं वा अञ्ञतरेन। कतमेहि चतूहि? नट्ठं न गवेसन्ति, जिण्णं न पटिसङ्खरोन्ति, अपरिमितपानभोजना होन्ति, दुस्सीलं इत्थिं वा पुरिसं वा आधिपच्चे ठपेन्ति। यानि कानिचि, भिक्खवे, कुलानि भोगेसु महत्तं पत्तानि न चिरट्ठितिकानि भवन्ति, सब्बानि तानि इमेहि चतूहि ठानेहि, एतेसं वा अञ्ञतरेन।
“Yāni kānici, bhikkhave, kulāni bhogesu mahattaṁ pattāni na ciraṭṭhitikāni bhavanti, sabbāni tāni catūhi ṭhānehi, etesaṁ vā aññatarena. Katamehi catūhi? Naṭṭhaṁ na gavesanti, jiṇṇaṁ na paṭisaṅkharonti, aparimitapānabhojanā honti, dussīlaṁ itthiṁ vā purisaṁ vā ādhipacce ṭhapenti. Yāni kānici, bhikkhave, kulāni bhogesu mahattaṁ pattāni na ciraṭṭhitikāni bhavanti, sabbāni tāni imehi catūhi ṭhānehi, etesaṁ vā aññatarena.
“Bhikkhus, when families don’t stay wealthy for long, it’s always for one or more of these four reasons. What four? They don’t look for what’s lost; they don’t fix old things; they eat and drink too much; or they put an unethical woman or man in charge. When families don’t stay wealthy for long, it’s always for one or more of these four reasons.

When families do stay wealthy for long, it’s always for one or more of these four reasons. What four? They look for what’s lost; they fix old things; they eat and drink in moderation; and they put an ethical woman or man in charge. When families do stay wealthy for long, it’s always for one or more of these four reasons.”
