The Long Āgama Sūtra 23.78

23.78

「祭祀火為上，諷誦詩為上，
人中王為上，眾流海為上，
星中月為上，光明日為上，
上下及四方，諸有所生物，
天及世間人，唯佛為最上，
欲求大福者，當供養三寶。」

“Fire is the best of sacrifices;
Poetry is the best for chanting;
The king is the best among people;
The ocean is best among rivers;
The moon is the best among stars;
And the sun is best among lights.

Up, down, and in the four directions,
Among all living things that exist,
Whether gods or worldly people,
Only the Buddha is supreme.
Someone looking for great fortune
Should support the three jewels.”
