Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, puññakiriyavatthūni.“Monks, there are these three grounds for meritorious activity. Katamāni tīṇi?Which three? Dānamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, sīlamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, bhāvanāmayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu—The ground for meritorious activity made of generosity, the ground for meritorious activity made of virtue, and the ground for meritorious activity made of development [meditation]. imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi puññakiriyavatthūnī”ti.These are the three grounds for meritorious activity.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Puññameva so sikkheyya, āyataggaṁ sukhudrayaṁ;Train in acts of merit that yield the foremost profit of bliss– Dānañca samacariyañca, mettacittañca bhāvaye.develop generosity, a life in tune, a mind of good will.
Ete dhamme bhāvayitvā, tayo sukhasamuddaye;Developing these three things that bring about bliss, Abyābajjhaṁ sukhaṁ lokaṁ, paṇḍito upapajjatī”ti.
Abyābajjhaṁ → abyāpajjaṁ (an6.37:1 [37. Chaḷaṅgadānasutta]; iti22:1 [Mettasutta])the wise reappear in a world of bliss unalloyed.
