Ok, so ... like this?
`The gifts *OF THOSE WHOSE* requisites which we use - the robes, alms-
bowl, chair, bed, and medicine in support of sickness - will have
great fruits, great merits [for the people who give them], and *OUR*
going forth will not be in vain, will be fruitful, will have a
result.'
Or like this?
`*IF* the gifts *OF THOSE WHOSE* requisites which we use - the robes,
alms-bowl, chair, bed, and medicine in support of sickness - will
have great fruits, great merits [for the people who give them], and
*IF* our going forth will not be in vain, will be fruitful, will have
a result'
