ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ພວກເຮົາໄດ້ຍິນມາວ່າ ແມ່ນແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ບໍລິຈາກດິນເພີຍນ້ອຍໜຶ່ງສ່ວນ ກໍໄດ້ຮັບຜົນບຸນຄົບຖ້ວນຂອງທານດິນ. ແທ້ຈິງ ຜູ້ໃດໃຫ້ດິນ ຖືກນັບວ່າໄດ້ໃຫ້ ‘ແຜ່ນດິນ’ ທັງປວງ; ແລະຜູ້ຄົນຍ່ອມໄດ້ເສບສຸກດິນນັ້ນເອງ (ໃນປະໂລກ) ເປັນຜົນຕອບແທນ».

Educational Q&A

Bhishma, instructing on dharma and gifts, cites received tradition (śruti/report) to emphasize the exceptional spiritual efficacy of bhūmi-dāna.
