Vanaropasutta

“Kesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, ke janā saggagāmino”ti.

“Whose merit always grows by day and by night? What people—firm in principle, <j>accomplished in conduct— are going to heaven?”

“Ārāmaropā vanaropā, ye janā setukārakā; Papañca udapānañca, ye dadanti upassayaṁ.

“Planters of parks or groves, those who build a bridge, a drinking place and well, and those who give monastic quarters.

Tesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, te janā saggagāmino”ti.

Their merit always grows by day and by night. Those people—firm in principle, <j>accomplished in conduct— are going to heaven.”
