Difference between Pin (Punya, Paññā, Wisdom, Understanding) and Kusal (Kushala, Kusala, Wholesome)?

Kusala, wholesome, is an advantage mind and mental factors. It is the advantage because it must causes both present and future advantage resultants, KusalaVipāka.
Kusala can arise without Puññā, i.e. a boy gives a gift to a poor man just on demand, but Puññā can't arise without Kusala because Puññā without Kusala is the ignorant, Aññāṇa. Aññāṇa is the root of Akusalā, unwholesome, and causes the advantage resultants.
Paññā = understand the fact: causes&effects, the dependent origination, Paṭṭhāna.
Paṭivedha = Paññā.
Paṭivedha = understand through the fact relation: causes&effects.
Ñāṇa = Expert Paññā.
Dassana = View, Understood, Diṭṭhi (vision), Cakkhu (eye).
