What then are the four types of provision that must be given so that the fortress may be well victualed and not go in want or in distress?

Monks, in this world, in a fortress sited near the boundary of the king's territory there must be a great store of fodder, of firewood and of water, so that those within it may be happy and should not be distressed, but live well, while they repel any enemy outside.

Monks, next again - in a fortress sited near the boundary of the king's territory there must be a good store of medicaments so that those within it may be happy and should not be distressed, but live well, while they repel any enemy outside.

Monks, in the city all four of these supplementary foods should not be stinted but be provided as needed- they should not be begrudged, but issued without causing distress.
အရဟန္းတုိ႔¡ၿမိဳ႕၏အေထာက္အပံ့ျဖစ္ေသာ ဤအစာအာဟာရေလးမ်ိဳးတုိ႔ကုိ အလုိရွိတုိင္းမေတာင့္တ, မၿငိဳျငင္, မပင္မပန္း ရရွိနုိင္ကုန္၏။
Monks, if a fortress sited on the borders of the king's territories is thus provided, no hostile force from outside, whether of rebels or of a foreign enemy, will be able to attack and destroy it.
ရဟန္းတုိ႔¡ ထုိ႔ေၾကာင့္ ျပည့္ရွင္မင္း၏ နုိင္ငံအစြန္း၌ရွိေသာခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕ကုိ ျပင္ပဆန္႔က်င္ဘက္ရန္သူတုိ႔သည္ တုိက္ခုိက္ဖ်က္စီးျခင္းမျပဳနုိင္ဟု ေဟာေတာ္မူသည္။
The seventh Nipāta of the Anguttaranikāya scripture thus describes the seven protective “limbs", the four types of provisions and the thirteen types of soldiers that must be provided for a fortification placed near the border of the king's territory to make it complete.
ဤသုိ႔ အဂၤုတၱရနိကာယ သတၱကနိပါတ္ပါဠိေတာ္၀ယ္ နုိင္ငံအစြန္အဖ်ား၌ရွိေသာ ခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕ကုိ ၿမိဳ႕၏အၿခံ အရံ အဂၤါခုနစ္ပါး၊ အစာအာဟာရေလးပါး၊ သူရဲမ်ိဳးတစ္က်ိပ္သုံးေယာက္တုိ႔ႏွင့္ အျပည့္အစုံရွိေစရမည္ဟု ေဟာေတာ္ မူေသာေၾကာင့္ ေရွးအထက္ကပင္ ခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕တုိ႔မည္သည္ နုိင္ငံအစြန္းအဖ်ားမွာသာ ထားသင့္ ေၾကာင္းကုိ သိသာသည္။
It is necessary to consider the countries where in the past it has been proper to construct fortifications near their boundaries and how any one of the seven "limbs" entered into them and what part each one of the seven played.
As we have said, fortifications properly sited and fulfilling their purpose are very beneficial, but it must be realised that if any one of the seven is lacking, the kingdom will lack stability.
ဤခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕ဟူသည္လည္း နုိင္ငံအဂၤါခုနစ္ပါးတုိ႔တြင္ တစ္ပါးအပါအ၀င္ျဖစ္သည္။ ဆုိခဲ့ၿပီးေသာ အရပ္ဌာနတုိ႔၌ ေနရာက်ေအာင္ထားအပ္ေသာ ခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕သည္ ဆုိခဲ့ၿပီးသည့္အတုိင္း မ်ားစြာအက်ိဳး ရွိေသာေၾကာင့္ ဤခံတပ္ၿမိဳ႕ ဟူေသာအဂၤါတစ္ပါးမရွိေသာ နုိင္ငံသည္ မခုိင္မလုံနုိင္ရာသည္ကုိ သိအပ္၏။
