Bhikkhu, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṃ sobheti. Bhikkhunī, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṃ sobheti. Upāsako, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṃ sobheti. Upāsikā, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṃ sobheti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṃ sobhentī’’ti.

‘‘Yo hoti viyatto ² ca visārado ca,

Bahussuto dhammadharo ca hoti;

Dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī,

Sa tādiso vuccati saṅghasobhano ⁴.

‘‘Bhikkhu ca sīlasampanno, bhikkhunī ca bahussutā;

Upāsako ca yo saddho, yā ca saddhā upāsikā;

Ete kho saṅghaṃ sobhenti, ete hi saṅghasobhanā’’ti. sattamaṃ;
