“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो …पे… अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्स।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo …pe… anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with five qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.
कतमेहि, पञ्चहि? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु असेखेन सीलक्खन्धेन समन्नागतो होति, असेखेन समाधिक्खन्धेन समन्नागतो होति, असेखेन पञ्ञाक्खन्धेन समन्नागतो होति, असेखेन विमुत्तिक्खन्धेन समन्नागतो होति, असेखेन विमुत्तिञाणदस्सनक्खन्धेन समन्नागतो होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति …पे… अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्सा”ति।
Katamehi, pañcahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu asekhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena samādhikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena paññākkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena vimuttikkhandhena samannāgato hoti, asekhena vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandhena samannāgato hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti …pe… anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā”ti.
What five? It’s when they have the entire spectrum of the master’s ethics, samādhi, wisdom, freedom, and knowledge and vision of freedom. A bhikkhu with these five qualities … is the supreme field of merit for the world.”
