8. Aṭṭhakanipāto

Odātavatthā suci allakesā, kaccāni kiṃ kumbhimadhissayitvā ;

Piṭṭhā tilā dhovasi taṇḍulāni, tilodano hehiti kissa hetu.

Na kho ayaṃ brāhmaṇa bhojanatthā , tilodano hehiti sādhupakko;

Dhammo mato tassa pahuttamajja , ahaṃ karissāmi susānamajjhe.

Anuvicca kaccāni karohi kiccaṃ, dhammo mato ko nu taveva saṃsi;

Sahassanetto atulānubhāvo, na miyyatī dhammavaro kadāci.

Daḷhappamāṇaṃ mama ettha brahme, dhammo mato natthi mamettha kaṅkhā;

Ye yeva dāni pāpā bhavanti, te teva dāni sukhitā bhavanti.

Suṇisā hi mayhaṃ vañjhā ahosi, sā maṃ vadhitvāna vijāyi puttaṃ;

Sā dāni sabbassa kulassa issarā, ahaṃ panamhi apaviddhā ekikā.

Jīvāmi vohaṃ na matohamasmi , taveva atthāya idhāgatosmi;

Yā taṃ vadhitvāna vijāyi puttaṃ, sahāva puttena karomi bhasmaṃ.

Evañca te ruccati devarāja, mameva atthāya idhāgatosi;

Ahañca putto suṇisā ca nattā, sammodamānā gharamāvasema.

Evañca te ruccati kātiyāni, hatāpi santā na jahāsi dhammaṃ;

Tuvañca putto suṇisā ca nattā, sammodamānā gharamāvasetha.

Sā kātiyānī suṇisāya saddhiṃ, sammodamānā gharamāvasittha;

Putto ca nattā ca upaṭṭhahiṃsu, devānamindena adhiggahītāti.

Idaṃ pure ninnamāhu, bahumacchaṃ mahodakaṃ;

Āvāso bakarājassa, pettikaṃ bhavanaṃ mama;

Tyajja bhekena yāpema, okaṃ na vajahāmase .

Ko dutiyaṃ asīlissa, bandharassakkhi bhecchati ;

Ko me putte kulāvakaṃ, mañca sotthiṃ karissati.

Sabbā parikkhayā pheggu, yāva tassā gatī ahu;

Khīṇabhakkho mahārāja, sāre na ramatī ghuṇo.

Sā nūnāhaṃ ito gantvā, rañño muttā nivesanā;

Attānaṃ ramayissāmi, dumasākhaniketinī.

So nūnāhaṃ ito gantvā, rañño mutto nivesanā;

Aggodakāni pissāmi, yūthassa purato vajaṃ.

Taṃ maṃ kāmehi sammattaṃ, rattaṃ kāmesu mucchitaṃ;

Ānayī bharato luddo, bāhiko bhaddamatthu te.

Andhakāratimisāyaṃ, tuṅge uparipabbate;

Sā maṃ saṇhena mudunā, mā pādaṃ khali yasmani.

Asaṃsayaṃ jātikhayantadassī, na gabbhaseyyaṃ punarāvajissaṃ;

Ayamantimā pacchimā gabbhaseyyā , khīṇo me saṃsāro punabbhavāyāti.

Idaṃ suvaṇṇakāyūraṃ, muttā veḷuriyā bahū;

Sabbaṃ harassu bhaddante, mañca dāsīti sāvaya.

Oropayassu kalyāṇi, mā bāḷhaṃ paridevasi;

Na cāhaṃ abhijānāmi, ahantvā dhanamābhataṃ.

Yato sarāmi attānaṃ, yato pattāsmi viññutaṃ;

Na cāhaṃ abhijānāmi, aññaṃ piyataraṃ tayā.

Ehi taṃ upagūhissaṃ , karissañca padakkhiṇaṃ;

Na hi dāni puna atthi, mama tuyhañca saṅgamo.

Na hi sabbesu ṭhānesu, puriso hoti paṇḍito;

Itthīpi paṇḍitā hoti, tattha tattha vicakkhaṇā.

Na hi sabbesu ṭhānesu, puriso hoti paṇḍito;

Itthīpi paṇḍitā hoti, lahuṃ atthaṃ vicintikā .

Lahuñca vata khippañca, nikaṭṭhe samacetayi;

Migaṃ puṇṇāyateneva , sulasā sattukaṃ vadhi.

Yodha uppatitaṃ atthaṃ, na khippamanubujjhati;

So haññati mandamati, corova girigabbhare.

Yo ca uppatitaṃ atthaṃ, khippameva nibodhati;

Muccate sattusambādhā, sulasā sattukāmivāti.

Bhusamhi kuddhoti avekkhiyāna, na tāva daṇḍaṃ paṇayeyya issaro;

Aṭṭhānaso appatirūpamattano, parassa dukkhāni bhusaṃ udīraye.

Yato ca jāneyya pasādamattano, atthaṃ niyuñjeyya parassa dukkaṭaṃ;

Tadāyamatthoti sayaṃ avekkhiya, athassa daṇḍaṃ sadisaṃ nivesaye.

Na cāpi jhāpeti paraṃ na attanaṃ, amucchito yo nayate nayānayaṃ;

Yo daṇḍadhāro bhavatīdha issaro, sa vaṇṇagutto siriyā na dhaṃsati.

Ye khattiyā se anisammakārino, paṇenti daṇḍaṃ sahasā pamucchitā;

Avaṇṇasaṃyutā jahanti jīvitaṃ, ito vimuttāpi ca yanti duggatiṃ.

Dhamme ca ye ariyappavedite ratā, anuttarā te vacasā manasā kammunā ca;

Te santisoraccasamādhisaṇṭhitā, vajanti lokaṃ dubhayaṃ tathāvidhā.

Rājāhamasmi narapamadānamissaro, sacepi kujjhāmi ṭhapemi attanaṃ;

Nisedhayanto janataṃ tathāvidhaṃ, paṇemi daṇḍaṃ anukampa yoniso.

Sirī ca lakkhī ca taveva khattiya, janādhipa mā vijahi kudācanaṃ;

Akkodhano niccapasannacitto, anīgho tuvaṃ vassasatāni pālaya.

Guṇehi etehi upeta khattiya, ṭhitamariyavattī suvaco akodhano;

Sukhī anuppīḷa pasāsamediniṃ , ito vimuttopi ca yāhi suggatiṃ.

Evaṃ sunītena subhāsitena, dhammena ñāyena upāyaso nayaṃ;

Nibbāpaye saṅkhubhitaṃ mahājanaṃ, mahāva megho salilena medininti .

Aṅgārajātā pathavī, kukkuḷānugatā mahī;

Atha gāyasi vattāni , na taṃ tapati ātapo.

Uddhaṃ tapati ādicco, adho tapati vālukā;

Atha gāyasi vattāni , na taṃ tapati ātapo.

Na maṃ tapati ātapo, ātapā tapayanti maṃ;

Atthā hi vividhā rāja, te tapanti na ātapo.

Addasaṃ kāma te mūlaṃ, saṅkappā kāma jāyasi;

Na taṃ saṅkappayissāmi, evaṃ kāma na hehisi.

Appāpi kāmā na alaṃ, bahūhipi na tappati;

Ahahā bālalapanā, parivajjetha jaggato.

Appassa kammassa phalaṃ mamedaṃ, udayo ajjhāgamā mahattapattaṃ;

Suladdhalābho vata māṇavassa, yo pabbajī kāmarāgaṃ pahāya.

Tapasā pajahanti pāpakammaṃ, tapasā nhāpitakumbhakārabhāvaṃ;

Tapasā abhibhuyya gaṅgamāla, nāmenālapasajja brahmadattaṃ.

Sandiṭṭhikameva ‘‘amma’’ passatha, khantīsoraccassa ayaṃ vipāko;

Yo sabbajanassa vanditohu, taṃ vandāma sarājikā samaccā.

Mā kiñci avacuttha gaṅgamālaṃ, muninaṃ monapathesu sikkhamānaṃ;

Eso hi atari aṇṇavaṃ, yaṃ taritvā caranti vītasokāti.

Dhammo have hato hanti, nāhato hanti kiñcanaṃ ;

Tasmā hi dhammaṃ na hane, mā tvaṃ dhammo hato hani.

Alikaṃ bhāsamānassa, apakkamanti devatā;

Pūtikañca mukhaṃ vāti, sakaṭṭhānā ca dhaṃsati;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhūmiyaṃ tiṭṭha cetiya.

Akāle vassatī tassa, kāle tassa na vassati;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhūmiṃ pavisa cetiya.

Jivhā tassa dvidhā hoti, uragasseva disampati;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhiyyo pavisa cetiya.

Jivhā tassa na bhavati, macchasseva disampati;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhiyyo pavisa cetiya.

Thiyova tassa jāyanti , na pumā jāyare kule;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhiyyo pavisa cetiya.

Puttā tassa na bhavanti, pakkamanti disodisaṃ;

Yo jānaṃ pucchito pañhaṃ, aññathā naṃ viyākare.

Sace hi saccaṃ bhaṇasi, hohi rāja yathā pure;

Musā ce bhāsase rāja, bhiyyo pavisa cetiya.

Sa rājā isinā satto, antalikkhacaro pure;

Pāvekkhi pathaviṃ cecco, hīnatto patva pariyāyaṃ .

Tasmā hi chandāgamanaṃ, nappasaṃsanti paṇḍitā;

Aduṭṭhacitto bhāseyya, giraṃ saccūpasaṃhitanti.

Yo indriyānaṃ kāmena, vasaṃ nārada gacchati;

So pariccajjubho loke, jīvantova visussati .

Sukhassānantaraṃ dukkhaṃ, dukkhassānantaraṃ sukhaṃ;

Sosi patto sukhā dukkhaṃ, pāṭikaṅkha varaṃ sukhaṃ.

Kicchakāle kicchasaho, yo kicchaṃ nātivattati;

Sa kicchantaṃ sukhaṃ dhīro, yogaṃ samadhigacchati.

Na heva kāmāna kāmā, nānatthā nātthakāraṇā;

Na katañca niraṅkatvā, dhammā cavitumarahasi.

Dakkhaṃ gahapatī sādhu, saṃvibhajjañca bhojanaṃ;

Ahāso atthalābhesu, atthabyāpatti abyatho.

Ettāvatetaṃ paṇḍiccaṃ, api so davilo bravi;

Na yito kiñci pāpiyo, yo indriyānaṃ vasaṃ vaje.

Amittānaṃva hatthatthaṃ, sivi pappoti māmiva;

Kammaṃ vijjañca dakkheyyaṃ, vivāhaṃ sīlamaddavaṃ;

Ete ca yase hāpetvā, nibbatto sehi kammehi.

Sohaṃ sahassajīnova abandhu aparāyaṇo;

Ariyadhammā apakkanto, yathā peto tathevahaṃ.

Sukhakāme dukkhāpetvā, āpannosmi padaṃ imaṃ;

So sukhaṃ nādhigacchāmi, ṭhito bhāṇumatāmivāti.

Ādittasmiṃ agārasmiṃ, yaṃ nīharati bhājanaṃ;

Taṃ tassa hoti atthāya, no ca yaṃ tattha ḍayhati.

Evāmādīpito loko, jarāya maraṇena ca;

Nīharetheva dānena, dinnaṃ hoti sunīhataṃ .

Yo dhammaladdhassa dadāti dānaṃ, uṭṭhānavīriyādhigatassa jantu;

Atikkamma so vetaraṇiṃ yamassa, dibbāni ṭhānāni upeti macco.

Dānañca yuddhañca samānamāhu, appāpi santā bahuke jinanti;

Appampi ce saddahāno dadāti, teneva so hoti sukhī parattha.

Viceyya dānaṃ sugatappasatthaṃ, ye dakkhiṇeyyā idha jīvaloke;

Etesu dinnāni mahapphalāni, bījāni vuttāni yathā sukhette.

Yo pāṇabhūtāni aheṭhayaṃ caraṃ, parūpavādā na karoti pāpaṃ;

Bhīruṃ pasaṃsanti na tattha sūraṃ, bhayā hi santo na karonti pāpaṃ.

Hīnena brahmacariyena, khattiye upapajjati;

Majjhimena ca devattaṃ, uttamena visujjhati.

Addhā hi dānaṃ bahudhā pasatthaṃ, dānā ca kho dhammapadaṃva seyyo;

Pubbeva hi pubbatareva santo , nibbānamevajjhagamuṃ sapaññāti.

Gaṅgā kumudinī santā, saṅkhavaṇṇā ca kokilā;

Jambu tālaphalaṃ dajjā, atha nūna tadā siyā.

Yadā kacchapalomānaṃ, pāvāro tividho siyā;

Khamanīyaṃ yāpanīyaṃ, kacci mātula te sukhaṃ;

Sukhaṃ te ammā avaca, sukhakāmāva te mayaṃ.

Naṅguṭṭhaṃ me avakkamma , heṭhayitvāna eḷike ;

Sājja mātulavādena, muñcitabbā nu maññasi.

Puratthāmukho nisinnosi, ahaṃ te mukhamāgatā;

Pacchato tuyhaṃ naṅguṭṭhaṃ, kathaṃ khvāhaṃ avakkamiṃ .

Yāvatā caturo dīpā, sasamuddā sapabbatā;

Tāvatā mayhaṃ naṅguṭṭhaṃ, kathaṃ kho tvaṃ vivajjayi.

Pubbeva metamakkhiṃsu , mātā pitā ca bhātaro;

Dīghaṃ duṭṭhassa naṅguṭṭhaṃ, sāmhi vehāyasāgatā.

Tañca disvāna āyantiṃ, antalikkhasmi eḷike;

Migasaṅgho palāyittha, bhakkho me nāsito tayā.

Iccevaṃ vilapantiyā, eḷakiyā ruhagghaso;

Galakaṃ anvāvamaddi, natthi duṭṭhe subhāsitaṃ.

Neva duṭṭhe nayo atthi, na dhammo na subhāsitaṃ;

Nikkamaṃ duṭṭhe yuñjetha, so ca sabbhiṃ na rañjatīti.
