Brāhmaṇadhammayāgasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Ahamasmi, bhikkhave, brāhmaṇo yācayogo sadā payatapāṇi antimadehadharo anuttaro bhisakko sallakatto.
payatapāṇi → payatapāṇī (bj, sya-all)“I am a brahman, monks, always responsive to requests, open-handed,
bearing my last body, an unsurpassed doctor & surgeon.
Tassa me tumhe puttā orasā mukhato jātā dhammajā dhammanimmitā dhammadāyādā, no āmisadāyādā.You are my children, my sons, born from my mouth, born of the Dhamma,
created by the Dhamma, heirs to the Dhamma, not heirs in material things.
Dvemāni, bhikkhave, dānāni—“There are these two kinds of gifts: āmisadānañca dhammadānañca.a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ dānānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammadānaṁ.Of these two kinds of gifts, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.
Dveme, bhikkhave, saṁvibhāgā—“There are these two kinds of sharing: āmisasaṁvibhāgo ca dhammasaṁvibhāgo ca.sharing of material things & sharing of the Dhamma. Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ saṁvibhāgānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammasaṁvibhāgo.Of these two kinds of sharing, this is supreme: sharing of the Dhamma.
Dveme, bhikkhave, anuggahā—“There are these two kinds of assistance: āmisānuggaho ca dhammānuggaho ca.assistance with material things & assistance with the Dhamma. Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ anuggahānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammānuggaho.Of these two kinds of assistance, this is supreme: assistance with the Dhamma.
Dveme, bhikkhave, yāgā—“There are these two kinds of mass-donations: āmisayāgo ca dhammayāgo ca.a mass-donation of material things & a mass-donation of the Dhamma. Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ yāgānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammayāgo”ti.Of these two kinds of mass-donations, this is supreme: a mass-donation of the Dhamma.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Yo dhammayāgaṁ ayajī amaccharī, tathāgato sabbabhūtānukampī;
sabbabhūtānukampī → sabbasattānukampī (sya-all)He who, unstinting, made the mass-donation of Dhamma, the Tathāgata, sympathetic to all beings: Taṁ tādisaṁ devamanussaseṭṭhaṁ, sattā namassanti bhavassa pāragun”ti.to one of that sort –the best of beings, human & divine– living beings pay homage– to one gone to the beyond of becoming.
