Sīlasampannasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
vuttañhetaṁ → vuttaṁ hetaṁ (bjt)This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Ye te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū sīlasampannā samādhisampannā paññāsampannā vimuttisampannā vimuttiñāṇadassanasampannā ovādakā viññāpakā sandassakā samādapakā samuttejakā sampahaṁsakā alaṁsamakkhātāro saddhammassa dassanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;

M. the preceding accusative has always the anusvāra; dassanaṁ sahaṁ, C. (pts note) | bahūpakāraṁ → Only C. has nearly always bahūp-, the other MSS. have bahu-; D.

(pts note) | vimuttiñāṇadassanasampannā → vimuttiñāṇadassanasam pannā (th) | alaṁsamakkhātāro → alaṁ samakkhātāro (th)“Monks, those monks who are consummate in virtue, consummate in concentration,
consummate in discernment, consummate in release, consummate in the knowledge & vision of release;
who exhort, demonstrate, instruct, urge, rouse & encourage;
who are competent rightly to point out the true Dhamma:
seeing them, I tell you, accomplishes a great deal;
savanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;
savanampahaṁ → savaṇampahaṁ (bj) | bahūpakāraṁ → bahukāraṁ (sya-all) | savanampahaṁ → savanam-pahaṁ (pts)listening to them…

anupabbajjampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi.
bahūpakāraṁ → bahukāraṁ (sya-all) | anupabbajjampahaṁ → anussatimpahaṁ (cck: syā.) | anupabbajjampahaṁ → anupabbajjam-pahaṁ (pts)following them in going forth accomplishes a great deal.
