Dutiyapuññābhisandasutta 
Dutiyapuññābhisandasutta → dutiyābhisandasuttaṁ (bj); abhisanda 2 (pts1ed)
Overflowing Merit (2nd)

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā.  “Mendicants, there are these four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness.
Katame cattāro?  What four?
Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—  It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti. 
Ayaṁ paṭhamo puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro. 
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako dhamme …pe…  the teaching …
saṅghe …pe….  the Saṅgha …

Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako vigatamalamaccherena cetasā agāraṁ ajjhāvasati muttacāgo payatapāṇi vossaggarato yācayogo dānasaṁvibhāgarato.  Furthermore, a noble disciple lives at home rid of the stain of stinginess, freely generous, open-handed, loving to let go, committed to charity, loving to give and to share.
Ayaṁ catuttho puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro.  This is the fourth kind of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurtures happiness.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā”ti.  These are the four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness.”

Dutiyaṁ.
