‘‘Abhijjamāne vārimhi, gaṅgāya idha gacchasi;

Naggo pubbaddhapetova māladhārī alaṅkato;

Kuhiṃ gamissasi peta, kattha vāso bhavissatī’’ti.

388.

‘‘Cundaṭṭhilaṃ ² gamissāmi, peto so iti bhāsati;

Antare vāsabhagāmaṃ, bārāṇasiṃ ca ⁴ santike’’.

389.

Tañca disvā mahāmatto, koliyo iti vissuto;

Sattuṃ bhattañca petassa, pītakañca yugaṃ adā.

390.

Nāvāya tiṭṭhamānāya, kappakassa adāpayi;

Kappakassa padinnamhi, ṭhāne petassa dissatha ⁶.

391.

Tato suvatthavasano, māladhārī alaṅkato;

Ṭhāne ṭhitassa petassa, dakkhiṇā upakappatha;

Tasmā dajjetha petānaṃ, anukampāya punappunaṃ.

392.

Sātunnavasanā ⁹ eke, aññe kesanivāsanā ¹⁰;

Petā bhattāya gacchanti, pakkamanti disodisaṃ.

393.

Dūre eke ¹² padhāvitvā, aladdhāva nivattare;

Chātā pamucchitā bhantā, bhūmiyaṃ paṭisumbhitā.

394.

Te ca ¹⁵ tattha papatitā ¹⁶, bhūmiyaṃ paṭisumbhitā;

Pubbe akatakalyāṇā, aggidaḍḍhāva ātape.

395.

‘‘Mayaṃ pubbe pāpadhammā, gharaṇī kulamātaro;

Santesu deyyadhammesu, dīpaṃ nākamha attano.

396.

‘‘Pahūtaṃ annapānampi, apissu avakirīyati;

Sammaggate pabbajite, na ca kiñci adamhase.

397.

‘‘Akammakāmā alasā, sādukāmā mahagghasā;

Ālopapiṇḍadātāro, paṭiggahe paribhāsimhase ¹⁸.

398.

‘‘Te gharā tā ca dāsiyo, tānevābharaṇāni no;

Te aññe paricārenti, mayaṃ dukkhassa bhāgino.

399.

‘‘Veṇī vā avaññā honti, rathakārī ca dubbhikā;

Caṇḍālī kapaṇā honti, kappakā ²⁰ ca punappunaṃ.

400.

‘‘Yāni yāni nihīnāni, kulāni kapaṇāni ca;

Tesu tesveva jāyanti, esā maccharino gati.

401.

‘‘Pubbe ca katakalyāṇā, dāyakā vītamaccharā;

Saggaṃ te paripūrenti, obhāsenti ca nandanaṃ.

402.

‘‘Vejayante ca pāsāde, ramitvā kāmakāmino;

Uccākulesu jāyanti, sabhogesu tato cutā.

403.

‘‘Kūṭāgāre ca pāsāde, pallaṅke gonakatthate;

Bījitaṅgā ²² morahatthehi, kule jātā yasassino.

404.

‘‘Aṅkato aṅkaṃ gacchanti, māladhārī alaṅkatā;

Dhātiyo upatiṭṭhanti, sāyaṃ pātaṃ sukhesino.

405.

‘‘Nayidaṃ akatapuññānaṃ, katapuññānamevidaṃ;

Asokaṃ nandanaṃ rammaṃ, tidasānaṃ mahāvanaṃ.

406.

‘‘Sukhaṃ akatapuññānaṃ, idha natthi parattha ca;

Sukhañca katapuññānaṃ, idha ceva parattha ca.

407.

‘‘Tesaṃ sahabyakāmānaṃ, kattabbaṃ kusalaṃ bahuṃ;

Katapuññā hi modanti, sagge bhogasamaṅgino’’ti.

Abhijjamānapetavatthu paṭhamaṃ.
