Health is the supreme gain, contentment is the supreme wealth, trust is the best relative, nibbana is the supreme happiness.

Ārogyaparamā lābhā — health is the supreme gain: ārogya is health, absence of disease. Before any other gain, health is the foundation. Without health, no wealth has value.

Santuṭṭhiparamaṃ dhanaṃ — contentment is the supreme wealth: santuṭṭhi is contentment, satisfaction with what one has. The content do not depend on amount but on attitude. The content are richer than the dissatisfied millionaire.

Vissāsaparamā ñāti — trust is the best relative: vissāsa is trust, reliable intimacy. Ñāti are relatives. Better than blood ties is genuine trust that can exist even between non-relatives.

Nibbānaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ — nibbana is the supreme happiness: this refrain appears for the third time in this vagga (202, 203, 204), creating a rhythmic insistence. The repetition imprints in the listener’s mind the hierarchy of values the Dhamma proposes.
