Visuddhimagga XXIII-54

Avisesena hi catubbidhāyapi etissā bhāvitattā bhāvitapañño puggalo sadevakassa lokassa āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalīkaraṇīyo anuttaraṃ puññakkhettaṃ lokassa.

概而言之：因为他修此（出世间的道慧），所以这修慧者是人天世间的应供养者、应奉者、应施者、应合掌恭敬者、是世间的无上福田。

Ñ(XXIII,54): For, generally speaking, it is because understanding has been developed in these four ways that a person who has developed it is fit for the gifts of the world with its deities, fit for its hospitality, fit for its offerings, and fit for its reverential salutation, and an incomparable field of merit for the world.
