Attanā ca cāgasampanno hoti, parañca cāgasampadāya samādapeti, attanā ca bhikkhūnaṃ dassanakāmo hoti, parañca bhikkhūnaṃ dassane samādapeti. Attanā ca saddhammaṃ sotukāmo hoti, parañca saddhammasavaṇe samādapeti. Attanā ca sutānaṃ dhammānaṃ dhāraṇajātiko hoti, parañca dhammadhāraṇāya samādapeti. Attanā ca dhatānaṃ dhammānaṃ atthūparikkhī hoti parañca atthūpaparikkhāya samādapeti. Attanā ca atthamaññāya [PTS Page 222] [\q 222/] dhammamaññāya dhammānudhammapaṭipanno hoti, parañca dhammānudhammapaṭipattiyā samādapeti.
