「又契經說至福業增長」者，此是第三福增長證。成就有依七福業事者，一施羈旅客、二施路行人、三施有病人、四施侍病人、五施園林、六施常乞食、七隨時施，如下別明。成就此七福業事者，恒時相續繼，前福業漸漸增長福業，有後續起。如是七種有所依事，故名有依。善故名福，作故名業，思託名事。福、業、事三，如下別釋。

"Furthermore, a sūtra says [...] meritorious karma increases": this is the third proof from the increase of merit. Endowing the seven bases of meritorious activity supported [by material gifts]: first, giving to travelers; second, giving to wayfarers; third, giving to the sick; fourth, giving to those nursing the sick; fifth, giving parks and groves; sixth, giving regular alms-food; seventh, giving according to season—as will be explained separately below. For one who is endowed with these seven bases of meritorious activity, continuously in uninterrupted succession, the preceding meritorious karma gradually increases, and succeeding meritorious karma arises later. Because these seven kinds rely on supporting material things, they are called supported. Being wholesome, it is called merit; being an action, it is called karma; being what intention relies upon, it is called a base. The three—merit, karma, and base—are explained separately below.
