“尊那！如是七种无尽功德法，若有善男子善女人能具足此法，所获功德不可限量。尊那！此七种无尽功德法，若有善男子善女人，发至诚心能具足此法，所获无尽功德不可限量。如是功德名闻称赞及大果报功德甚多，名为大功德蕴。 “复次尊那！譬如有五大河恒流其水，所谓：殑伽河、阎母那河、萨啰喻河、爱啰嚩帝河、末呬河。而此河水不可限量，如是河水乃至盛水之器，百数千数百千亿数，其水甚多，名为水蕴；无尽功德亦复如是！ “尊那！此七种无尽功德法悉皆具足，是善男子善女人，所获功德不可思议不可称量，具大名闻及大果报，功德甚多，名为大功德蕴。” 尔时世尊而说颂曰： “清净修禅行， 唯修圣迹中； 采宝无过海， 如河济有情。 河水无边际， 众流还复源； 布施获多福， 如河常流海。” 尔时大尊者尊那闻佛说已，欢喜作礼，信受奉行。 佛说尊那经 现代汉语译本 ‘尊那（Cunda）！有这七种无尽功德之法，如果有善男子、善女人能够具备这些法，所获得的功德是不可估量的。尊那（Cunda）！这七种无尽功德之法，如果有善男子、善女人，以至诚之心能够具备这些法，所获得的无尽功德是不可估量的。这样的功德，名声传扬，赞叹不绝，以及巨大的果报，功德非常多，被称为大功德蕴。’ ‘再者，尊那（Cunda）！譬如有五条大河恒常流动，它们是：殑伽河（Ganges River）、阎母那河（Yamuna River）、萨啰喻河（Sarayu River）、爱啰嚩帝河（Iravati River）、末呬河（Mahi River）。这些河水是不可估量的，如同这些河水，乃至用盛水的器皿，百数、千数、百千亿数，其水非常多，被称为水蕴；无尽功德也像这样！’ ‘尊那（Cunda）！如果善男子、善女人完全具备这七种无尽功德之法，所获得的功德是不可思议、不可称量的，具备巨大的名声和巨大的果报，功德非常多，被称为大功德蕴。’ 这时，世尊说了偈颂： ‘清净地修行禅定，只在圣迹中修行；采宝没有超过大海的，如同河流救济有情众生。 河水没有边际，众多的水流最终回归源头；布施可以获得很多福报，如同河流经常流向大海。’ 当时，大尊者尊那（Cunda）听闻佛陀所说后，欢喜地行礼，信受奉行。 佛说尊那经

English version ‘Cunda! These are the seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas. If a good man or good woman can possess these dharmas, the merits they obtain are immeasurable. Cunda! These seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas, if a good man or good woman, with sincere heart, can possess these dharmas, the inexhaustible merits they obtain are immeasurable. Such merits, fame and praise, and great rewards, are very numerous, and are called a great accumulation of merit.’ ‘Furthermore, Cunda! For example, there are five great rivers that constantly flow, namely: the Ganga River (Ganges River), the Yamuna River (Yamuna River), the Sarayu River (Sarayu River), the Iravati River (Iravati River), and the Mahi River (Mahi River). These river waters are immeasurable, like these river waters, even using water-holding vessels, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, billions, the water is very much, called an accumulation of water; inexhaustible merit is also like this!’ ‘Cunda! If a good man or good woman fully possesses these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas, the merits they obtain are inconceivable and immeasurable, possessing great fame and great rewards, the merits are very numerous, and are called a great accumulation of merit.’ At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: ‘Purely cultivate the practice of dhyana, only cultivate in the sacred sites; collecting treasures is no greater than the sea, like a river saving sentient beings. The river water has no boundaries, the many streams eventually return to the source; giving alms can obtain much blessings, like a river constantly flowing to the sea.’ At that time, the great Venerable Cunda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully bowed, accepted it with faith, and practiced accordingly.
