Dhamma-saṅghaṃ vanditvāna,
Sabba-lokassa nāyakaṃ;
Yācito tikakrapa-therena,
Māṇavena ca dhīmatā.
Uttānameva saṅkhepaṃ,
Nānā-sattha-sudhāritaṃ;
Nara-dakkhaṃ likhissami,
Passantu dhīra-māmakā.
Kosajjaṃ bhayato disvā,
Vīriyañjāpi khemato;
Āraddhavīriyā hotha;
Esā buddhānusāsanī.
Vīriyavā kho bhikkhave ariyasāvako,
Akusalaṃ pajahati, kusalaṃ bhāveti;
Sāvajjaṃ pajahati, anavajjaṃ bhāveti,
Suddhamattānaṃ pariharatīti.
Vīriyavato kiṃ nāma kammaṃ na sijjhati;
Purisakāro nāma na nassati,
Sukhe patiṭṭhāpetīti jānāmi.
Yathā khittaṃ nabhe leḍḍu,
Dhuvaṃ patati bhūmiyaṃ;
Tatheva buddha-seṭṭhānaṃ,
Vacanaṃ dhuva-sassataṃ.
A-dvejjhavacanā buddhā,
A-moghavacanā jinā.
Sussusā labhate paññaṃ,
Uṭṭhātā vindate dhanaṃ;
Tasmā pāḷiṃ guruṃ katvā,
Imaṃ passāhi sobhaṇaṃ.
Sussusā suta-buddhinī,
Sutaṃ paññāya vaḍḍhanaṃ;
Paññāya atthaṃ jānāti,
Ñāto attho sukhāvaho.
Satataṃjjhāyanaṃ vāda,
Para-tantavalokanaṃ;
Sabbijjācera-sevāca,
Buddhi-mati-karo guṇo.
Ati-dīghova nīgho hi,
Kusīto hīna-vīriyo;
Tasmā vīriyaṃ katvāna,
Vijjaṃ esantu sādhavo.
Suporiso tāva sippaṃ,
Uggaṇheyya paraṃ dhanaṃ;
Gaveseyya tato mantaṃ,
Katheyya sacca-bhāsitaṃ.
Pathamaṃ na parājaye sippaṃ,
Dutīyaṃ na parājaye dhanaṃ;
Tatīyaṃ na parājaye dhanaṃ,
Catutthamatthaṃ kiṃ karissati.
Sobhanti a-milātāni,
Pupphāniva pilandhituṃ;
Tathā sobhanti dārakā,
Yobbaneyeva sikkhituṃ.
Tasmā have guṇādhāraṃ,
Paññā-vaḍḍhanamuttamaṃ;
Sikkheyya matimā poso,
Patthento hitamattano.
Alaṃ vāyamituṃ sippe,
Attha-kāmena jantunā;
Kataṃ vijaññā vijjādi,
Vayo te mā upajjhagā.
Vijjaṃ sikkhe, care sīlaṃ,
Dhīrena saha saṃvase;
Dhanācaye, kare kammaṃ,
Piyaṃ vācañca saṃvade.
Na tveva supituṃ hoti,
Ratti nakkhatta-mālinī;
Paṭijaggitumevesā,
Ratti hoti vijānataṃ.
Uṭṭhāhatha nisīdatha,
Ko attho supitena vo;
Sādhu kho sippa-vijjāhvā,
Vijjaṃ sikkhatha santataṃ.
Ārabbhatha sadā puttā,
Bahussutaṃ gavesituṃ;
Yasmā loke sippavantā,
Sabbā-disāsu pākaṭā.
Sakyarūpaṃ pure santaṃ,
Mayā sippaṃ na sikkhitaṃ;
Kicchā vutti a-sippassa,
Iti pacchā nutappati.
Lokatthaṃ loka-kammantaṃ,
Icchanto pariyesituṃ;
Niccameva vīriyañca,
Atthaṃ mantañja cintaye.
Dhanavā guṇavā loke,
Sabbā-disāya pākaṭo;
Sīlavā paññavā macco,
Sabba-lokehi pūjito.
Sajīvati yaso yassa,
Kitti yassa sajīvati;
Yasa-kitti vihīnassa,
Jīvantopi matopamā.
Saddhīdha vittaṃ purisassa seṭṭhaṃ,
Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahāti;
Saccaṃ have sādutaraṃ rasānaṃ,
Paññājīviṃ jīvitamāhu seṭṭhanti.
Satimato sadā bhaddaṃ,
Satimā sukhamedhati;
Satimato suve seyyo,
Verā ca parimuccati.
Mā vo khaṇaṃ virādhetha,
Khaṇātītā hi socare;
Sadatthe vāyameyyātha,
Khaṇo vo paṭipādito.
Yathicchitaṃ na pappoti,
A-phiyo nāvikoṇṇave;
Tathevāvīriyopettha,
Tasmārabheyya sāsanaṃ.
Vāyametheva puriso,
Yāva atthassa nipphadā;
Nipphannasobhaṇo attho,
Khantā bhiyyo na vijjati.
Sameva ñāṇa-vāyāme,
Sukhāvaho su-maṅgalo;
Ñunedhike tathā no hi,
Dvayena sādhu sampadā.
Kāya-kammāni sijjhanti,
Vacī-kammāni vīriyaṃ;
Na hi kiccāni cintāhi,
Kareyyāthīdha vāyamaṃ.
Paṭikacceva kareyya,
Taṃ jaññā hitamattano;
Na sākaṭikacintāya,
Mandā dhīro parakkame.
Thirena saka-kammena,
Vaḍḍhatiyeva saṃ phalaṃ;
A-thirena alasena,
Kara-kammaṃ phalañca no.
Āsīsetheva puriso,
Na nibbindeyya paṇḍito;
Passāmi vohaṃ attānaṃ,
Yathā icchiṃ tathā ahu.
Aṇaṇo ñātīnaṃ hoti,
Devānaṃ pitunañca so;
Karaṃ purisa-kiccāni,
Na ca pacchānutappati.
Hiyyoti hiyyati poso,
Karissāmi pareti yo;
Ajja kattabba kammaṃ sve,
So tato parihāyati.
So a-ppamatto a-kuddho,
Tāta kiccāni kāraya;
Vāyāmassu sa-kiccesu,
Nālaso vindate sukhaṃ.
Hīna-jaccopi ce hoti,
Uṭṭhātā dhitimā naro;
Ācāra-sīla-sampanno,
Nise aggīva bhāsati.
Yo pubbe karaṇīyāni,
Pacchā so kātumicchati;
Varuṇakaṭṭhabhañjova,
Sa pacchā anutappati.
Uṭṭhānakālamhi anuṭṭhahāno,
Yuvā balī ālasiyaṃ upeto;
A-puṇṇasaṅkappamano kusīto,
Paññāya maggaṃ alaso na vindati.
Dummedho puriso loke,
Kusīto hīna-vīriyo;
Appassuto anācāro,
Parihāyati vuḍḍhiyā.
Appassutāyaṃ puriso,
Balībaddova jīrati;
Maṃsāni tassa vaḍḍhanti,
Paññā tassa na vaḍḍhati.
Yassa manussa-bhūtassa,
Natthi bhogā ca sippakaṃ;
Kiṃphalaṃ tassa mānussaṃ,
Dvipādaṭṭho hi so migo.
Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve,
Kusīto hīna-vīriyo;
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo,
Vīriyārabbhato daḷaṃ.
Yo ca dhamma-vibhaṅgaññū,
Kāluṭṭhāyī a-tandito;
Anuṭṭhahati kālena,
Phalaṃ tassa samijjhati.
A-caritvā brahmacariyaṃ,
A-laddhā yobbane dhanaṃ;
Jiṇṇakoñcāva jhāyanti,
Khīṇamaccheva pallale.
A-caritvā brahmacariyaṃ,
A-laddhā yobbane dhanaṃ;
Sentti cāpātikhīṇāva,

Appakenāpi medhāvī,
Pābhatena vicakkhaṇo;
Samuṭṭhāpeti attānaṃ,
Aṇuṃ aggiṃva sandhamaṃ.
Vāyāmetheva puriso,
Na nibbindeyya paṇḍito;
Vāyāmassa phalaṃ passa,
Bhuttā ambā anītihaṃ.
Anuṭṭhahaṃ a-vāyāmaṃ,
Sukhaṃ yatrādhi gacchati;
Suvira tattha gacchāhi,
Mañca tattheva pāpaya.
Yatthālaso anuṭṭhātā,

Dhītimanttassa sijjhati;
Vīriyameva kattabbaṃ,
Etaṃ buddhehi vaṇṇitaṃ.
