“But “ku+sala” means to get rid of kilesa (lobha, dosa, moha”
As I understand it, kusala kamma involves and is the PROCESS of getting rid (in time)of the kilesas, not that being rid of the kilesas in the first place is the condition on which one performs kusala kamma. If it were so, kusala kamma would be reserved for Arahants.
Note that it says ‘ to get rid’ (a process), not to ‘be rid'(a state of being)
So yes, as I see, ‘So one can do punna kamma without getting rid of moha, i.e. without cultivating panna.’
