Then I thought,
Tassa mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etadahosi:
‘It is the fruit and result of three kinds of deeds:
‘tiṇṇaṁ kho me idaṁ kammānaṁ phalaṁ, tiṇṇaṁ kammānaṁ vipāko, yenāhaṁ etarahi evaṁmahiddhiko evaṁmahānubhāvoti, seyyathidaṁ
giving, self-control, and restraint.’”
dānassa, damassa, saññamassā’”ti.

Then King Mahāsudassana thought,
‘Of what deed of mine is this the fruit and result, that I am now so mighty and powerful?’

Then King Mahāsudassana thought,
‘It is the fruit and result of three kinds of deeds:

giving, self-control, and restraint.’

Atha kho, ānanda, rañño mahāsudassanassa etadahosi:
‘kissa nu kho me idaṁ kammassa phalaṁ kissa kammassa vipāko, yenāhaṁ etarahi evaṁmahiddhiko evaṁmahānubhāvo’ti?
Atha kho, ānanda, rañño mahāsudassanassa etadahosi:
‘tiṇṇaṁ kho me idaṁ kammānaṁ phalaṁ tiṇṇaṁ kammānaṁ vipāko, yenāhaṁ etarahi evaṁmahiddhiko evaṁmahānubhāvo, seyyathidaṁ—
dānassa damassa saṁyamassā’ti.

How do we practice dama, saññama, and saṁyama?
