Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, puññakiriyavatthūni.
Katamāni tīṇi?
Dānamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, sīlamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, bhāvanāmayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu—
imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi puññakiriyavatthūnī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Puññameva so sikkheyya,
āyataggaṁ sukhudrayaṁ;
Dānañca samacariyañca,
mettacittañca bhāvaye.

Ete dhamme bhāvayitvā,
tayo sukhasamuddaye;
Abyābajjhaṁ sukhaṁ lokaṁ,
paṇḍito upapajjatī”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
