“Kesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, “Whose merit always grows
sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; by day and by night?
Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, What people—firm in principle,accomplished in conduct— ke janā saggagāmino”ti. are going to heaven?”
“Ārāmaropā vanaropā, “Planters of parks or groves,
ye janā setukārakā; those who build a bridge,
Papañca udapānañca, a drinking place and well,
ye dadanti upassayaṁ. and those who give monastic quarters.
Tesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, Their merit always grows
sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; by day and by night.
Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, Those people—firm in principle,accomplished in conduct— te janā saggagāmino”ti. are going to heaven.”
