Dānasutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
vuttañhetaṁ → vuttaṁ hetaṁ (bjt)
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Dvemāni, bhikkhave, dānāni—“Monks, there are these two kinds of gifts: āmisadānañca dhammadānañca.
āmisadānañca → āmissa-, B. D. E; ca, om. D. E. (pts note) | āmisadānañca dhammadānañca → āmisadānaṁ ca dhammadānaṁ ca (th)
a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma.
Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ dānānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammadānaṁ.
etadaggaṁ → etad-aggaṁ (pts) | yadidaṁ → yad-idaṁ (pts)
Of these two kinds of gifts, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.

Dveme, bhikkhave, saṁvibhāgā—
dveme → dve-me (pts)
There are these two kinds of sharing:
āmisasaṁvibhāgo ca dhammasaṁvibhāgo ca.
āmisasaṁvibhāgo → āmissaṁ-, P. (pts note)
sharing of material things & sharing of the Dhamma.
Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ saṁvibhāgānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammasaṁvibhāgo.
etadaggaṁ → etad-aggaṁ (pts) | yadidaṁ → yad-idaṁ (pts)
Of these two kinds of sharing, this is supreme: sharing of the Dhamma.

Dveme, bhikkhave, anuggahā—
dveme → dve-me (pts)
There are these two kinds of assistance:
āmisānuggaho ca dhammānuggaho ca.
āmisānuggaho → āmisa anu-, D. E.; āmissanu-, M.; āmissānu-, B. (pts note)
assistance with material things & assistance with the Dhamma.
Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ anuggahānaṁ yadidaṁ dhammānuggaho”ti.
etadaggaṁ → etad-aggaṁ (pts) | yadidaṁ dhammānuggahoti → yad-idaṁ dhammānuggaho ti (pts)
Of these two kinds of assistance, this is supreme: assistance with the Dhamma.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Yamāhu dānaṁ paramaṁ anuttaraṁ, yaṁ saṁvibhāgaṁ bhagavā avaṇṇayi;
yamāhu → yam-āhu (pts) avaṇṇayi → avaṇṇayī (bj) | avaṇṇayi → avaṇṇayī (cck: sī.)
The gift he describes as supreme & unsurpassed, the sharing the Blessed One has extolled:
Aggamhi khettamhi pasannacitto, viññū pajānaṁ ko na yajetha kāle.
khettamhi → aggadakkhiṇakhettamhi, B. (pts note) yajetha → yajeya, P. (pts note)
who–confident in the supreme field of merit, wise, discerning– wouldn’t give it at appropriate times?

Ye ceva bhāsanti suṇanti cūbhayaṁ, pasannacittā sugatassa sāsane;Both for those who proclaim it and those who listen, confident in the message of the One Well-Gone: Tesaṁ so attho paramo visujjhati, ye appamattā sugatassa sāsane”ti.
sugatassa → sugg-, P. Pa. (pts note) | sāsaneti → sāsane ti tik (pts)
it purifies their foremost benefit– those heeding the message of the One Well-Gone.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
iti me sutanti navamaṁ → vuttamarahatā ti (pts)

Navamaṁ.
