8. Aṭṭhakanipāto

‘‘Kammaṃ bahukaṃ na kāraye, parivajjeyya janaṃ na uyyame;

So ussukko rasānugiddho, atthaṃ riñcati yo sukhādhivāho.

‘‘Paṅkoti hi naṃ avedayuṃ, yāyaṃ vandanapūjanā kulesu;

Sukhumaṃ sallaṃ durubbahaṃ, sakkāro kāpurisena dujjaho.

‘‘Na parassupanidhāya, kammaṃ maccassa pāpakaṃ;

Attanā taṃ na seveyya, kammabandhūhi mātiyā.

‘‘Na pare vacanā coro, na pare vacanā muni;

Attā ca naṃ yathāvedi , devāpi naṃ tathā vidū.

‘‘Pare ca na vijānanti, mayamettha yamāmase;

Ye ca tattha vijānanti, tato sammanti medhagā.

‘‘Jīvate vāpi sappañño, api vittaparikkhayo;

Paññāya ca alābhena , vittavāpi na jīvati.

‘‘Sabbaṃ suṇāti sotena, sabbaṃ passati cakkhunā;

Na ca diṭṭhaṃ sutaṃ dhīro, sabbaṃ ujjhitumarahati.

‘‘Cakkhumāssa yathā andho, sotavā badhiro yathā;

Paññavāssa yathā mūgo, balavā dubbaloriva;

Atha atthe samuppanne, sayetha matasāyika’’nti.

‘‘Akkodhanonupanāhī, amāyo rittapesuṇo;

Sa ve tādisako bhikkhu, evaṃ pecca na socati.

‘‘Akkodhanonupanāhī, amāyo rittapesuṇo;

Guttadvāro sadā bhikkhu, evaṃ pecca na socati.

‘‘Akkodhanonupanāhī, amāyo rittapesuṇo;

Kalyāṇasīlo so bhikkhu, evaṃ pecca na socati.

‘‘Akkodhanonupanāhī, amāyo rittapesuṇo;

Kalyāṇamitto so bhikkhu, evaṃ pecca na socati.

‘‘Akkodhanonupanāhī, amāyo rittapesuṇo;

Kalyāṇapañño so bhikkhu, evaṃ pecca na socati.

‘‘Yassa saddhā tathāgate, acalā suppatiṭṭhitā;

Sīlañca yassa kalyāṇaṃ, ariyakantaṃ pasaṃsitaṃ.

‘‘Saṅghe pasādo yassatthi, ujubhūtañca dassanaṃ;

‘Adaliddo’ti taṃ āhu, amoghaṃ tassa jīvitaṃ.

‘‘Tasmā saddhañca sīlañca, pasādaṃ dhammadassanaṃ;

Anuyuñjetha medhāvī, saraṃ buddhāna sāsana’’nti.

‘‘Yadā paṭhamamaddakkhiṃ, satthāramakutobhayaṃ;

Tato me ahu saṃvego, passitvā purisuttamaṃ.

‘‘Siriṃ hatthehi pādehi, yo paṇāmeyya āgataṃ;

Etādisaṃ so satthāraṃ, ārādhetvā virādhaye.

‘‘Tadāhaṃ puttadārañca, dhanadhaññañca chaḍḍayiṃ;

Kesamassūni chedetvā, pabbajiṃ anagāriyaṃ.

‘‘Sikkhāsājīvasampanno, indriyesu susaṃvuto;

Namassamāno sambuddhaṃ, vihāsiṃ aparājito.

‘‘Tato me paṇidhī āsi, cetaso abhipatthito;

Na nisīde muhuttampi, taṇhāsalle anūhate.

‘‘Tassa mevaṃ viharato, passa vīriyaparakkamaṃ;

Tisso vijjā anuppattā, kataṃ buddhassa sāsanaṃ.

‘‘Pubbenivāsaṃ jānāmi, dibbacakkhu visodhitaṃ;

Arahā dakkhiṇeyyomhi, vippamutto nirūpadhi.

‘‘Tato ratyā vivasāne , sūriyassuggamanaṃ pati;

Sabbaṃ taṇhaṃ visosetvā, pallaṅkena upāvisi’’nti.
