1"Bhikkhus, when three things are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit. What three? (1) When faith is present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit. (2) When an object to be given is present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit. (3) When those worthy of offerings are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit. When these three things are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit."

Deyyadhammassa, bhikkhave, sammukhībhāvā saddho kulaputto bahuṁ puññaṁ pasavati. Dakkhiṇeyyānaṁ, bhikkhave, sammukhībhāvā saddho kulaputto bahuṁ puññaṁ pasavati. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ sammukhībhāvā saddho kulaputto bahuṁ puññaṁ pasavatī"ti.
