Yāvatā, bhikkhave, saṅghā vā gaṇā vā, tathāgatasāvakasaṅgho tesaṁ aggamakkhāyati, yadidaṁ cattāri purisayugāni aṭṭha purisapuggalā esa bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho āhuneyyo pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa.
Para bhikkhu, di antara segala komunitas dan kelompok, Saṅgha para siswa Yang Tathāgata dinyatakan sebagai yang tertinggi, yaitu: empat pasang makhluk mulia, delapan jenis individu—Saṅgha siswa Bhagavā ini layak menerima persembahan, layak menerima keramahan, layak menerima dana, layak dihormati dengan tangan bersikap añjali, dan merupakan ladang jasa yang tiada taranya bagi dunia.
The Saṅgha of the Realized One’s disciples is said to be the best of all communities and groups. It consists of the four pairs, the eight individual persons. This is the Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples that is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of greeting with cupped palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.
