3. Kuṭidūsakavaggo

Manussasseva te sīsaṃ, hatthapādā ca vānara;

Atha kena nu vaṇṇena, agāraṃ te na vijjati.

Manussasseva me sīsaṃ, hatthapādā ca siṅgila ;

Yāhu seṭṭhā manussesu, sā me paññā na vijjati.

Anavaṭṭhitacittassa, lahucittassa dubbhino ;

Niccaṃ addhuvasīlassa, sukhabhāvo na vijjati.

So karassu ānubhāvaṃ, vītivattassu sīliyaṃ;

Sītavātaparittāṇaṃ, karassu kuṭavaṃ kapīti.

Duddubhāyati bhaddante, yasmiṃ dese vasāmahaṃ;

Ahampetaṃ na jānāmi, kimetaṃ duddubhāyati.

Beluvaṃ patitaṃ sutvā, duddubhanti saso javi;

Sasassa vacanaṃ sutvā, santattā migavāhinī.

Appatvā padaviññāṇaṃ, paraghosānusārino;

Panādaparamā bālā, te honti parapattiyā.

Ye ca sīlena sampannā, paññāyūpasame ratā;

Ārakā viratā dhīrā, na honti parapattiyāti.

Dvayaṃ yācanako rāja, brahmadatta nigacchati;

Alābhaṃ dhanalābhaṃ vā, evaṃ dhammā hi yācanā.

Yācanaṃ rodanaṃ āhu, pañcālānaṃ rathesabha;

Yo yācanaṃ paccakkhāti, tamāhu paṭirodanaṃ.

Mā maddasaṃsu rodantaṃ, pañcālā susamāgatā;

Tuvaṃ vā paṭirodantaṃ, tasmā icchāmahaṃ raho.

Dadāmi te brāhmaṇa rohiṇīnaṃ, gavaṃ sahassaṃ saha puṅgavena;

Ariyo hi ariyassa kathaṃ na dajjā , sutvāna gāthā tava dhammayuttāti.

Kalyāṇarūpo vatayaṃ catuppado, subhaddako ceva supesalo ca;

Yo brāhmaṇaṃ jātimantūpapannaṃ, apacāyati meṇḍavaro yasassī.

Mā brāhmaṇa ittaradassanena, vissāsamāpajji catuppadassa;

Daḷhappahāraṃ abhikaṅkhamāno , avasakkatī dassati suppahāraṃ.

Ūruṭṭhi bhaggaṃ pavaṭṭito khāribhāro, sabbañca bhaṇḍaṃ brāhmaṇassa bhinnaṃ;

Ubhopi bāhā paggayha kandati , abhidhāvatha haññate brahmacārī.

Evaṃ so nihato seti, yo apūjaṃ pasaṃsati ;

Yathāhamajja pahato, hato meṇḍena dummatīti.

Samaṇaṃ taṃ maññamāno, upagacchimasaññataṃ;

So maṃ daṇḍena pāhāsi, yathā assamaṇo tathā.

Kiṃ te jaṭāhi dummedha, kiṃ te ajinasāṭiyā;

Abbhantaraṃ te gahanaṃ, bāhiraṃ parimajjasi.

Ehi godha nivattassu, bhuñja sālīnamodanaṃ;

Telaṃ loṇañca me atthi, pahūtaṃ mayha pipphali.

Esa bhiyyo pavekkhāmi, vammikaṃ sataporisaṃ;

Telaṃ loṇañca kittesi , ahitaṃ mayha pipphalīti.

Kāyena yo nāvahare, vācāya na musā bhaṇe;

Yaso laddhā na majjeyya, sa ve kakkārumarahati.

Dhammena vittameseyya, na nikatyā dhanaṃ hare;

Bhoge laddhā na majjeyya, sa ve kakkārumarahati.

Yassa cittaṃ ahāliddaṃ, saddhā ca avirāginī;

Eko sāduṃ na bhuñjeyya, sa ve kakkārumarahati.

Sammukhā vā tirokkhā vā , yo sante na paribhāsati;

Yathāvādī tathākārī, sa ve kakkārumarahatīti.

Vāti cāyaṃ tato gandho, yattha me vasatī piyā;

Dūre ito hi kākavatī , yattha me nirato mano.

Kathaṃ samuddamatarī, kathaṃ atari kepukaṃ ;

Kathaṃ satta samuddāni, kathaṃ simbalimāruhi.

Tayā samuddamatariṃ, tayā atari kepukaṃ ;

Tayā satta samuddāni, tayā simbalimāruhiṃ.

Dhiratthumaṃ mahākāyaṃ, dhiratthumaṃ acetanaṃ;

Yattha jāyāyahaṃ jāraṃ, āvahāmi vahāmi cāti.

Bahūnaṃ vijjatī bhotī, tehi me kiṃ bhavissati;

Tasmā etaṃ na socāmi, piyaṃ sammillahāsiniṃ.

Taṃ taṃ ce anusoceyya, yaṃ yaṃ tassa na vijjati;

Attānamanusoceyya, sadā maccuvasaṃ pataṃ.

Na heva ṭhitaṃ nāsīnaṃ, na sayānaṃ na paddhaguṃ ;

Yāva byāti nimisati, tatrāpi rasatī vayo.

Tatthattani vatappaddhe , vinābhāve asaṃsaye;

Bhūtaṃ sesaṃ dayitabbaṃ, vītaṃ ananusociyanti .

Yaṃ annapānassa pure labhāma, taṃ dāni sākhamigameva gacchati;

Gacchāma dāni vanameva rādha, asakkatā casma dhanañjayāya .

Lābho alābho yaso ayaso ca, nindā pasaṃsā ca sukhañca dukkhaṃ;

Ete aniccā manujesu dhammā, mā soci kiṃ socasi poṭṭhapāda.

Addhā tuvaṃ paṇḍitakosi rādha, jānāsi atthāni anāgatāni;

Kathaṃ nu sākhāmigaṃ dakkhisāma , niddhāvitaṃ rājakulatova jammaṃ.

Cāleti kaṇṇaṃ bhakuṭiṃ karoti, muhuṃ muhuṃ bhāyayate kumāre;

Sayameva taṃ kāhati kāḷabāhu, yenārakā ṭhassati annapānāti.

Sīlaṃ kireva kalyāṇaṃ, sīlaṃ loke anuttaraṃ;

Passa ghoraviso nāgo, sīlavāti na haññati.

Yāvadevassahū kiñci, tāvadeva akhādisuṃ;

Saṅgamma kulalā loke, na hiṃsanti akiñcanaṃ.

Sukhaṃ nirāsā supati, āsā phalavatī sukhā;

Āsaṃ nirāsaṃ katvāna, sukhaṃ supati piṅgalā.

Na samādhiparo atthi, asmiṃ loke paramhi ca;

Na paraṃ nāpi attānaṃ, vihiṃsati samāhitoti.

Tassuddānaṃ –

Samanussa -saduddubha-yācanako, atha meṇḍavaruttama-godhavaro;

Atha kāyasakepuka bhotīvaro, atha rādhasusīlavarena dasāti.
