Dānasutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
vuttañhetaṁ → (sya-all, pts) | vuttañhetaṁ → vuttaṁ hetaṁ (bjt) | vuttamarahatāti → vuttamarahatā ti (pts)
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Evañce, bhikkhave, sattā jāneyyuṁ dānasaṁvibhāgassa vipākaṁ yathāhaṁ jānāmi, na adatvā bhuñjeyyuṁ, na ca nesaṁ maccheramalaṁ cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭheyya.
datvā → datvāna (sya-all) | tiṭṭheyya → tiṭṭheyaṁ, C.; tiṭṭheyyu, B. (pts note) | evañce → evañ-ce (pts)
“Monks, if beings knew, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they would not eat without having given, nor would the stain of selfishness overcome their minds.
Yopi nesaṁ assa carimo ālopo carimaṁ kabaḷaṁ, tatopi na asaṁvibhajitvā bhuñjeyyuṁ, sace nesaṁ paṭiggāhakā assu.
kabaḷaṁ → kabalaṁ (sya-all) | kabaḷaṁ tatopi → kabalaṁ tato pi (pts) | kabalaṁ → kabaḷaṁ, M. (pts note) | yopi → yo pi (pts)
Even if it were their last bite, their last mouthful, they would not eat without having shared, if there were someone to receive their gift.
Yasmā ca kho, bhikkhave, sattā na evaṁ jānanti dānasaṁvibhāgassa vipākaṁ yathāhaṁ jānāmi, tasmā adatvā bhuñjanti, maccheramalañca nesaṁ cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhatī”ti.
na → naṁ, B. C. (pts note) | tiṭṭhatīti → tiṭṭhatī ti (bjt)
But because beings do not know, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they eat without having given. The stain of selfishness overcomes their minds.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
etamatthaṁ → etam-atthaṁ (pts)
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Evañce sattā jāneyyuṁ, yathāvuttaṁ mahesinā;
evañce → evaṁ ce (my, bjt) | evañce → evañ-ce (pts) yathāvuttaṁ → yathā vuttaṁ (pts)
If beings knew what the Great Seer said,
Vipākaṁ saṁvibhāgassa, yathā hoti mahapphalaṁ.how the result of sharing has such great fruit,

Vineyya maccheramalaṁ, vippasannena cetasā;
vineyya → vineyyuṁ, M.; A. has: macchariyaṁ malaṁ apanetvā. (pts note)
then, subduing the stain of selfishness with brightened awareness,
Dajjuṁ kālena ariyesu, yattha dinnaṁ mahapphalaṁ.
dajjuṁ → dajjaṁ, C.; dajja, B.; A. has: rajjaṁ (sic !) dadeyyuṁ. (pts note)
they’d give in season to the noble ones, where a gift bears great fruit.

Annañca datvā bahuno, dakkhiṇeyyesu dakkhiṇaṁ;
datvā → datvāna (sya-all) | datvā → datvāna (cck: syā.) | bahuno → pāhuno, D. E. (pts note) | annañca → annaṁ ca (bjt)
Having given food as an offering to those worthy of offerings,
Ito cutā manussattā, saggaṁ gacchanti dāyakā.many donors, when they pass away from here, the human state, go to heaven.

Te ca saggagatā tattha, modanti kāmakāmino;
saggagatā → saggaṁ gatā (bj, pts-vp-pli1, mr) | saggagatā → saggaṁ gatā (cck: sī. pī. ka.) | saggaṁ → saggaṁ, M. P. Pa.; sagga, B. C. D. E. (pts note) | tattha → ete saggagatā sattā, C. (pts note)
They, having gone there to heaven, rejoice, enjoying sensual pleasures.
Vipākaṁ saṁvibhāgassa, anubhonti amaccharā”ti.
amaccharāti → amaccharā ti (pts)
Unselfish, they partake of the result of sharing.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
ayampi → ayam-pi (pts) | sutanti → sutan-ti ek (pts)

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
chaṭṭhaṁ → chaṭṭhaṁ vuttaṁ hetaṁ (sya-all)
